Nah, assuming it's an authentic medal it won't be 2008, it'll be a repaired WWII. Integrity would demand announcing the repair if you ever traded/sold it. And it may be devalued as such in some eyes. But it's still as authentic as it was when it was in one piece, simply not in the same condition.

Suggest finding a local jeweler; they shouldn't charge much and will be able to do a professional restoration job.
