Never clean medals on my medalbars...i just leave them as they are.Anyway i do like the outcome...it looks just great!Cheers gentsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi Paul, I see no issue with conservation, preservation and even restorative work as long as things are kept 100% original in everything. Appearance, materials, etc. It should be our duty while we are the caretakers of these pieces to prevent deterioration from occurring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian von Etzel Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Nothing wrong with restoration. Items kept intact. That's a good thing. Dirty was NOT the look originally or even later as worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
