I have this metal badge not sure of what its made out of but i cant get it to rust or tarnish.

I have tried white vinigar and balsamic vinigar with no luck.

Any other ideas?

If its metal, sea spray will do the trick.

A very old trick to make new metal objects look very old is to bury them in a pit in the ground and to piss in the pit for months.

It's used in Asia and the Middle East to make new brass and bronze statuettes look like they are centuries or millenia old, so that they can fool unsuspecting tourists into believing that they are geniuine antiques.
