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

Ibaya,

Since I know which degrees you have and what you do for a living, I hope that you do not give the bad guys any ideas. But this is an imnportant lesson to all of those that look at patina as the sole factor in determining fake or real. It is easy to add a "real" patina, so do not rule out the medals that have been cleaned. And I am not speakin about a fake patina.

Thanks for the knowledge,
Ed
