Hard call, Tommy. For my purposes, I'd leave it alone and hang it in a frame with a brief description of what it is and what it was awarded for. I've never been to a good museum that "fixed" militaria dug out of the ground beyond a bit of brushwork for outward, hardened mud. This applies to everything from awards to medals, to weapons, uniforms, bullets and flags. I think it has a certain "class" just as it is.
