Hi there, the medal components all arrive as you found them, for the recipient to sort out, so as pointed out already it's up to you (or your tailor?) how to attach the bar. Medals are never made to be worn tarnished - you would get pulled up for it on parade, it looks scruffy. If I were mounting them I would give them a light polish to remove any tarnish and then leave them framed to re-tarnish over the years. Good luck with your project whatever you decide.
Regards, Craig
