bob when you display your medals what do you do with the issue wrapper.i put mine in a draw below my display case.should i leave them in the wrapper and put them in the draw

[bobcam1]

If the issue envelope comes with tissue paper, I put the tissue inside the envelope. I then place the envelope into a frame or Riker mount that is lined with archival acid-free rag backing. I can then display all of the envelopes as well as the decorations, themselves.
Before I do this, I take photographs of the medals (which have since been tagged) with their respective envelopes, in case I need to re-match them later, for sale or trade.

Cheers,
Bob.

Gary,
Good to see you around again... Yup, slowly but surely climbing back!

Cheers,

Hello,

i think the idea of taking photos with the medal and the envelop that it originally came with is a brilliant idea for re-sale later or for reference!
