Best way to store Shields

[Pink]

From a conservation standpoint, what is the best/proper way to keep your shields...realize there are treatments for the 'zinc pest', but what about after.

Have been using museum archival sealable cellophane bags, then in Riker boxes, but curious how others keep them....with the cello packets you can add a description tag etc to the back of the bag without the deadly 'stickers' put on the actual items, that I have seen on many....and you still get to view them, both sides, handle them without needing gloves to keep the nasty oils off of them....

Cheers...we are, after all, just custodians of pieces of history...

Proven fact!
Perspex has proved itself over time to preserve coins from the Royal mint!
I would not be happy putting anything metallic in baggies

avoid wet air and if it is not too spread just let it be, IMO cleaning leads to destruction in most of the time.

I store shilds in the closed glass show-window in the dry room. Besides the surface of all shields is processed by teflon spray for protection of metal surfaces.
