Modifications to your original original Medal Holder 11th Air Mobile Brigade The original original original Medal Holder 11th Air Mobile Brigade, as well as the matching stand, are made of rugged 1 mm thick steel and provided with a durable textured coating.
To accommodate different medal layouts, multiple holes and slots have been drilled in the plate.
Should you need additional holes, you can easily add them yourself with a 2 mm drill bit.
It is important to then finish the drill holes with maroon lacquer to prevent rusting.
We strongly advise against machining the Medal Holder with a grinding wheel, both the plate and the support.
The heat released in the process can damage the powder coating, which will eventually lead to rust.
