    Uniform Distinguished Shooting Pin/Insignia search......

    Looking for a couple of these pins for my uniform. I was told by my agency that they are a "one time" issue and they won't give me replacements......typical.

    Anyway, does anyone know where I can get one or two of these?

    Each one has a post (dammit post) broken off. If someone knows a way of fixing that, I'd appreciate the tips. I think they are Blackinton manufacture.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not exactly what you are looking for.

    Yeah, it's going to have to be exact.

    I stay in their gun sights enough as it is.

    Did you call? 800-699-4436 They have some I just saw after a cursory look that are nearly identical. Send then a link to the image while you're on the phone and they can probably hook you up or give an idea who might have 'em.

    Perhaps a jeweler could replace the pins.

    This was what I was thinking if a replacement couldn't be sourced. @lwt16, I remember you mentioned being in Huntsville in another thread. I remember seeing commercials for a jeweler (Osbornes is sticking in my head for some reason) that did laser weld repair on rings and bails for stones on said rings. I'd imagine a post on a pin would be a quick job.

    Yep, we have Osborne jewelers here in town. Never even thought of a jeweler.
    Thanks for the suggestion and for the correction on the manufacturer.
