Grail Diary owners....insert questions

[DarkHelmet]

I just received my Sulla diary (awesome ) and want to get to work making some inserts.

Just wondering from diary owners how much of your inserts are real or made on authentic, vintage paper? For instance, does anyone use a real 1899 Silver Certificate? How about a real blank telegram?

Has anyone used old onion skin typing paper for the letters?

I personally don't use vintage paper, I use new paper and then age it myself to look old.

However, I know of many people who do the authentic route, especially with the silver certificate, Camel pack, French Franc, etc. But, for some of the inserts, this is kind of a moot point, since some of the production used inserts were copies...

Second that.

I have some old Western Union telegrams, well, they just fall apart.

It is much better to recreate the documents and age.
