Maybe a company that makes "Service Pins"-5 year/10 year, etc pins? Might even be able to get a cloisonne' one in colors.

hmmm... looks like a job for Google, I had these made once for a company I worked for, as I recall the minimum purchase was not terribly huge

1/2" in diameter witn DWF Logo?


Personally, I'd go with the 9/16"... you can get better detail on the larger size, and you can do a medallion swap on stock grips.

When I threw out the 1/2" size I was at work, and no way to check the size, but you're right, 9/16" is correct. This is gonna be a "roundtuit" project, however.

Question for the grip experts: Would just a round medallion work, glued into place, or is a stud on the back neccessary?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I will try and answer until the "XSpurt" comes along. I believe just a round one would be fine however I did a quick Internet search and found standard service pin size is 1/2 inch or 3/4. Minimum order is 100 ea at around $2.50 each. I plan on calling and talking to someone about options eventually, But I thought "IF" we decide to go this way why not just get the pin type and use as a grip medallion, and or some of you business types may even want a lapel pin or a tie tack. Just a thought and also on my Rooooound tuit list.

Glad to see someone else has the same list, mine is fairly long and includes some pretty old items. Couldn't hurt to have the pin, you could always trim it to fit into a grip if it was too long
