Well Jeff, you could find some nice black earth (preferabley Soviet issue), add a little water and make some mud. Rub it on, let it dry and then clean most of it off.
I've actually aged ribbons that way. I also age my ribbons by rubbing them between two bricks with some sand thrown in but I don't think that would be a good idea with your BM.
Fakers use some sort of chemical to give silver a patina. I have no idea what it is though.
If you smoke how about rubbing some cigarette ash on it? I've done that as well to ribbons.
