Brenton worked his magic on the precious item, removing most of the dents and polishing it to perfection. Amanda Middleditch, meanwhile, was working on the girder and fixing the ribbon.
After the incredible repair was revealed, some fans at home pointed out a “mistake” with the medal holder. One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I like the shows but the obvious mistake with the medal placement had me yelling at the TV.” Another agreed and replied: “And here!”

Speaking about the episode as a whole, a third wrote: “Great show, but it was the first time I’ve seen a fix that didn’t seem very well planned and could fail.”
However, others were seriously impressed with the outcome. One person mused: “Loved it. How much those repairs and restorations meant to those who owned them. And the feeling of the guy’s daughter feeling so privileged to pin her father’s medal back on his lapel. Priceless!”
