MattS Posted December 24, 2018 #1 Posted December 24, 2018 This may be an Anti-Preservation topic, but I am looking for suggestions on taking modern reproduction embroidered insignia (such as cap badges made in Pakistan) and making it look used. I'm not out to deceive anyone, I just prefer it to not be so shiny and new. Thanks!

MattS Posted January 14, 2019 Author #5 Posted January 14, 2019 That sounds..... like I'll pass. Thanks!
