Kev in Deva Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi Kevin,There doesn't appear to be any mark on the ribbon ring. Hi Eddie, that in itself, dosent mean its a repro, late war models often had a spotty effect caused by the casting, and yours seems to retain some of the frosting around the rim and particularly the helmet front.Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Kevin, many thanks for your input. What are the best products to use to spruce it up? I'd particularly like to get rid of the rust that's showing at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Eddie, most collectors do not clean / polish their medals with chemical agents as it deterioates the finish badly, you could try a simple wash with warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush, dry with a towel & hair dryer to get rid of all the moisture, in the rust area you could dab on with a cotton bud a little oil, but very sparingly.I am sure other members might contribute their ideas on this as well.Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
