[PADG:927] RE: Question on patinas

[STANFILL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

In answer to Graeme Marfleet's inquiry about patinas on sterling silver medals,
the American Institute of Conservation can provide a wealth of information on
subjects such as this. Their web site is:

>From there, check the link for Conservation/Preservation Information for the
General Public. You may also be able to post the inquirty directly to their 
forum, the ConsDistList (scroll down until you see the link, and it will have
the guidelines for posting). Good luck!
