Hi folks,

After being asked "where to 'em" I sent Ron at Hide Crafters the layout for the elusive US and CS Stamps for military leather. He can get them made for you or if you have a source, here are the layouts on PDF.

Enjoy,

Jim

Hello - I have mentioned these folks before when I see someone is looking for something

duckcreektraders might have available. They make 2 sizes of US & CS leather emboss plates.

The smaller one is 1 1/4"x 3/4" and it fits on slings, belts, accessory straps, hat bands, badges, cap boxes,

regimental plaques, etc., and a bullet pouch like this...

The larger size of US & CS leather emboss plates is 2 3/4" x 1 5/8" and you can

find a lot of uses for these on various projects from holsters, cartridge boxes, bags, canteen covers...

and they used it on One of Many gun holsters - that sold last year and I have a picture of it too.

I have quite a few of their emboss plates and emboss rolls also. They have a wide variety of 100's of designs to choose from and they always have something different up for sale on ebay - And they also have a website Bunkhousetools where you can go and look through what they have and order from them there or ask when they might have it up for auction. These folks are really Great to deal with and have Super Customer Service. I am a fan, can't you tell.....

Hope this is of help to you

I recently bought the large US stamp. These have to be used with a press so you know. They can't be hammered. john

Tanx John. I've made me a press that works just fine.

Oh, Yes, these need to be used with a shop press or a clicker...

These are instructions from Duckcreektraders

*Over on another post about using an Arbor Press,

'Gawdzilla' mentioned that the small ones can be used with a C-clamp....

....and probably a solid piece of metal above and below.
