That's pretty neat--I definitely like the Spartan helmet. I have to say, though, I would think the phrase "molon labe" would look cooler in Greek (as in with the Greek alphabet, since the phrase is Greek in and of itself ), but it all looks good to me

I don't know where you would get stamps for it, but you could definitely tool it--I'm worthless when it comes to tooling, but I would think you could just "write" the letters with a swivel knife and open them up with a stylus. As for a reference--that very phrase is written in the Greek alphabet if you search for "molon labe" on Wikipedia.

thanks for the comments everyone. and thanks for the greek letters Lobo. i have applied the backing piece and snaps. i placed two t-nuts in the back between the backing and holster to support the paddle i will be making for it. i plan on running a strip of kydex in between two pieces of leather for the paddle. was wondering if anyone has a better suggestion or another way of making the paddle.
