Ibaya,

I've tried it on a very damaged Red Star, and it didn't do anything to the enamel. As a matter of fact this "method" is often used after making changes to the serial number. If you rub a silver award with your fingers are they are tarnished it's a good cause for an alarm.

Putting a medal or decoration to flame ... that would certainly wreak havoc with any enamel that might be on it!
