I am a little confused, you all say you can't re-solder as it will damage enamel.

So how come the Russians seem to manage doing it?

I have a Number #4 red banner that was for some stupid reason converted to a screwback. The post was silver soldered with no damage??. I would like to have an loop re-attached but have not bothered to look for some one to do it as of yet because I fear it being damaged also.

I have also seen numerous other orders where they were converted, some not so well, others done very well.

So how did they manage not to damage the enamel? It seems some knows how to do it.

I tried to repair the order.

Just my advise: don't use soldering. It will destroy the enamel. The best case scenario, if it does not distroy - it will change the color in area around.

Use a super glue, as Rusty said.

Eric.
