Artificial patina is not difficult to create. Art fakers use tea and the content of vacum cleaners to age and make counterfeit oil paintings look old. This method can be used on documents as well. Acids or agressive cleaning fluids can tarnish paint and other surface treatments. Some fakers leave the dagger or helmet in the flower bed for 6 month to make it rust. A week outside your window in rain can make an iron cross build rust.

Cheers.

Patina and frosting are well faked on many pieces,The whole orange ribbon thing is as Peter says IMO inferior dye solutions. When on KCs always read through Dietrichs lengthy articles, it is not worth the chance of a couple thousand euros.

Interesting information about artificial patina
Thank you both

This cross is for sale on a UK based website. It is a rounder and is a postwar made item, although the website sells it as an original.

But now its better...everything is erased


Santiago,

?????????

Unfortunately I wasn't able to view your rebutal as it was censored before I was able to view it.

Your thoughtless affront to paid Association members is not better because it is now erased. It's not that easy.
