Gents,
I'm in the process of constructing a couple of different garments that will require period inspector's stamps. Making the stamp to the correct size and lettering seems to be the easiest part, however my question is what is appropriate to use for the ink to stamp with?
Most inks on original garments appear to be red, blue or black but what is around these days we can use to replicate the original inspector's stamps?
Before people pipe up about the search function I did use it and yielded nothing I could find through numerous searches specifically regarding the ink. For those of you who are in the business of making items for sale then if it is a trade secret I understand if you don't post.
I figured I'd ask before I ruined clothes trying to add small details to it. In regards to garments we're talking about English made items and Schuylkill Aresenal type stamps. I appreciate any information people are willing to share.
Thanks in advance!
