Number stamps

Recommended Posts

Constabulary or other European machine restorers, I am trying to find a set of number stamps like the ones shown on the current Durkopp 17 thread.  Size not so important, from 1/8" to 1/4" or thereabouts.

God bless,

Mike

Try looking for vintage car  - antique car to you, number stamping sets

Number font styles change over time but that style was used in the 1920s - '30s for car body and chassis ident numbers. The usual size of the numbers is 1/8 inch.

Modern fonts are plainer, like Arial font - 2 8 7 9 8

MikeRock,
I suspect that those are either custom made stamps or likely engraved plates. I had an engraving machine a while back and it resembles one of the font sets that I got with it.

Tom,

Those were European styles, until after WWII and American style for firearms much earlier.  My Winchester High Walls have that on all of them. 

I've been looking casually for a long time and missed one set at a sale.......turned my back and the darned things sold.... 

Hoping Constabulary might know of a set.

God bless all.
