Does anyone still make western badges from scratch? From scratch I mean: make a model, cast in a base metal, coat in a finish metal, hand engrave, finish and add mounting, etc.
I remember there was a gentlemen who made badges called Bob's Old Badges. He's since stopped and his web presence is gone. All I find now are China crap badges.
Just wondering of there are any real badge makers left for western collectors, like me.
Thanks in advance, and if you have a picture of your favorite badge, I'd love to see it! I really enjoy seeing the diverse badges and manufacture of these early "chest targets."
