Our medal mounting suggestion
Even though we can supply both Swing and Court Mounting styles, we almost always recommend choosing Court Mounting as it is definitely the safest option for the medal.
This method allows us to hand stitch each medal securely to an archival backing so they can't move around and damage each other.
Looking after your medals
As part of the manufacturing process, most medals have had a protective coating applied. However, engraving names on the medal breaks this layer, allowing a concentrated entry point for corrosion.
Continual cleaning can also remove the sharpness of the medal detailing and even its gold plating. Additionally, the protective coating can deteriorate just from the general wear and tear of time.
Following our gentle, sympathetic cleaning, we apply a new protective coating.
Specialised services for medal ribbons
Medals often had their ribbons replaced with new ones, sometimes more than once. However, we like to dry-clean, retain and use any original silk ribbon from the medals if they are in good enough condition.
As they can be quite fragile, it is also best that these original ribbons are not worn. even after the group has been remounted.
We can supply you with matching replica groups to wear on parade.
