I don't have one yet, but there are a couple of threads around here with examples of some that have been made by members of this forum.

I guess I will have to go with Jeff Mosby too. I have three from him and all are great. Good prices and the best quality. He can make almost any size you want. My smallest is 1/2" X 5/16"

Jeff Moseby, Grey ghost graphics did mine as well. Did a fine job, too!

Daryl Barberousse made both of my stamps and they are great. He was also the cheapest by far that I could find.

One very important thing to keep in mind is what you will be using it on. I don't know what you make, but if it just small items you don't want a very big stamp. Pick a size that will work well on the majority of items you make.

Hope this helps.

I also purchased a maker's stamp from Daryl and I'm more than happy with it. He uses Delrin (IIRC). Every once in a blue moon I use a mallet on it, but I mainly press my mark on my items now.

My 1st Makers Mark was made out of Delrin. It lasted about 9 months before it started fading. I then went with a lazer cut metal one and it should last a life time. But you pay for it. It depends on what you make and how many times you plan to use it.

There is a gentleman on the iforgeiron.com website the makes touchmarks (blacksmith makers mark) he goes by stampman, or a variation there of. No plastic, all steel. A lot of the smiths like his work.

I ordered mine here and couldn't be happier. I think it was thirty something bucks! They made exactly what I asked for and I had it in less than a week.

I have one of these from Brenda, It works great and the price was good.

Another vote for Jeff Mosby here, I have a 1" & a 11/2", Both have held up well

After a lot of pounding I found the the top of Delron widen a bit. so I cut the impression off to use in my press and found it worked better and less bouncing around when hitting delron stamp with a heavier mallet.
