Default Custom Medallions

Does anyone know of a place that I could get custom medallions made for a sissy bar? I've been looking all over the internet and can't find anything. I'm actually looking for USMC medallions if anyone knows where I can find one but otherwise I'll have one made.

I don't know what the magic phrase is, but I'm not having any luck.
I wonder if contacting 1 of the custom builders could steer you in the right direction?
Now, if you had access to a CNC machine, that would be the ticket!

Yeah, a CNC machine would help...but then I'd have to find someone to operate that.

Thanks for trying.

12Stones, I have access to a CNC and operator. Can you fax or e-mail me a picture or drawing of what you are looking for? Powder coat finish, Chrome, Vinyl or reflective graphics, size, etc. I'll see what I can do, and if the price is reasonable.

That would be great Joe, if you can pull this off!

I asked my CNC operator, and the first thing he said was "copyright infringement"

Does anyone know where to get approval for a services branch medallion. I think it's a great idea, but don't need any trouble. I get in enough of that on my own without help.

I don't think an original idea would fall under such infringment, and honestly I think most patented trademarks are disclosed.

However, like you say, you wouldn't want anyone comming down on you.
