This may seem like a pretty obvious question but I’d like to be sure before I cause any damage.

My recent medal purchases, EK2, Deutsches Schutzwall- Ehrenzeichen and Winterschlacht Im Osten have ribbons that have been folded in storage and/or transportation to me and I want to display them in a framed case so i’d like the creased ribbons to be nice and flat for display.

Are the ribbons made of cotton? Can they be ironed? Is this sacriledge or something that most people do for display?

Cheers

Glenn
