Damaged, Repair, Clean, Preserve Soviet Awards And Documents.
I don't know if this is in fact true verdigris, and I know how most people are about cleaning anything, but I am trying to see if I can prevent or at least stop the slow progression of this. Whatever it is called, it seems to occur most frequently on the text surrounded by enamel and usually on badges as below making the text appear "fuzzy." It is perhaps the most annoying and frustrating aspect of aging to me.Sad Photos taken only about 8 months apart. Any ideas on what to do regarding prevention and/or removal would be sincerely appreciated. [Please, any lectures or pontificating on the pros and cons of "cleaning" awards are best left to other threads.Big Grin]
