    So we assume that they were acid treated. What else could scorch the metal like this. The only remaining question is why. The only reason that comes to mind is that this was done to remove oxidation from a ground dug piece.

    But why the gilding and adding of a ribbon? To increase the value at most...

    You see ribbons are another strange "go figure" mystery.

    Ribbons look like originals (although they look like they also had contact with some kind chemical (?), cleaning liquid (?) )

    Interesting, that reverse of boxer bar is not gilded and we see the typical texture of typical bar for typical boxer medal ;)

    Nick, I have a very good idea, how to check authentizity of ribbons!

    PS: Honestly, we now that there are possiblities of using washing fluid, which influence structure, haptic etc. of ribbons. E.g. treat cuff titles, until they don't glow under UV-light...
