Damaged, Repair, Clean, Preserve Soviet Awards And Documents.
I have been thinking about some "naked" early, pre-5 sided kolodki Medals for some time. Formerly featuring the rectangular hanger but currently with no suspension at all. If an early award was "updated" by the recipient I leave it alone but I've been considering adding reproduction (high quality but not pretending to be original by any means) Kolodki to the currently naked Medals for display purposes.

I was wondering if any other forum members have had the nakedness issue and how they combated it.

The reproduction rectangular suspensions (with screwplate) are £5 each.
