Damaged, Repair, Clean, Preserve Soviet Awards And Documents.

[matteti]

Hello,

I believe that this order had a price tag on it and I'd like to remove what seems to be very old and hard glue. I think that by using lighter fuel it will definitely damage my medal. Any idea what I can use on a small corner to see if it can go out without damaging my order?

Thanks for any help!

Soviet, have you tried with hand soap (neutral ph) and water... I have had good result on a Partisan 1st class medal with soap+water and then rubbing the award with a facial tissue. It was not glue, but kind of greenish oxydation which I was able to entirely remove.

You might need to rub hard, but that is not a facial tissue that will destroy the back of a BoH!

Would be interested to hear other's opinions as well.
