Hello please answer my question
Hello howshould I age a German visor cap? I want to sell high quality aged ones on eBay and I will probably stamp on the inside repro so no one can flip them as real. I would really like to know how to age the leather visor and the leather linning too. Any info will help
I advise against it. They will inevitably be sold as originals, at least sooner or later. I don't think more fakes is what this market needs. Just my humble opinion though...
Best regards.

Found a UK dealer website today selling aged crap as the real thing. Way too shady because eventually some crook will knowingly fool someone and make money. I am against it.
I agree and to be honest this forum is about genuine artifacts. Our only interest in fakes is how to spot them not advising on how to make them.
It's just not our thing and most of us are very wary of any such production.
The last thing the membership here wants to do is assist in making fakes!
Also you say you would "probably" mark them. That statement makes one uneasy in itself.
I assume you mean no harm but you are asking the wrong people.
Sorry.
Regards
Mark

Horrible question...
No please & Thank you!
Rene, he did say “Please” in the title of the thread
I think perhaps English may not be his first language.

It’s hard. Most of us folk like to share our experience to help others. It’s one of the best things about this hobby. But often our comments are ignored or not replied too. To a certain degree I think it’s a miscommunication whilst other times, the poster having got a response, has moved on. I like to give the benefit of the doubt in the first instance, but I think those that use this forum as a vetting service eventually show their true colours.
