Signed Belt by Relson Gracie - How to Keep it/Save it?

Hello,
I come from Relson's Lineage and last Monday he came to our school for a seminar and we had dinner with him afterwards. He was signing people's belts so I also asked for it.
Now I would like to retired this belt and save it and get another one (which sucks because this is a custom Kataaro belt)
What would be the best way to Keep the Signature (forever if possible)?
Thank you all in advance...

You could scan it with a computer and get Kataaro to embroider said belt next time you get a stripe (they do give fabric stripes for free when earned). That would be my way to fix this and keep using said belt.

Yes, I am getting a New Belt. I was just checking to see if there was some type of lacquer that I can put over the signature to preserve it more. Because even if I put it in a glass box or something the signature will fade out over time.

I have had one sign by Royce Gracie over 20 years ago. Hung it up still looks the same as the day he signed. Done nothing to preserve it.

If you love the belt, set it free. If it comes back it’s yours. If not, it was never meant to be.

might cost you a bit. but you could go to a customer framer and have them make a "shadow box", could include the photo as well. they can usually use museum grade/quality glass that will protect if from UV light to keep it from fading over time. I've done that with a few things over the years and they hold up really well.
