Can anyone tell me if I'm correct in thinking that R.Davies may not have claimed his medals as shown?

World War One / Re: MOD can reissue returned WW1 medals
« on: Saturday 28 June 25 12:22 BST (UK) »
We received my wife's g.grandfather's WW1 medal set from M.O.D. five years ago as he never claimed them.They currently await mounting,and have been in their cases since issue,but despite not being overly/carelessly handled,are showing signs of tarnishing.Is the metallic content of these medals as per those issued originally? and can anyone tell me how best to clean them and prevent further discolouring? Any help would be gratefully accepted.(If this post doesn't fit the scope of the forum please feel free to delete.)
