Source for Miniature Awards

[lasher]

i'm designing a set of 1911 grips and i need a source for miniature awards, the little metal replicas of the ribbons, i need them individual not as a rack. they're about 5/8ths long by 3/16ths wide. here is what i need, but this is in rack form

You might call a few jewelry stores that do engraving and such. Even if they can't do it, they might know someone who can.

Just a thought. And thanks for your service.

Google for "military award pins." Here are a few of the dozens of hits I got:

The other option is my go-to: "if the question starts with 'where can I buy...,' the answer is probably Amazon." Search for the specific award(s) you want.

thanks Dave, i Binged em yesterday and didn't get nearly that many sources, and they all wanted to make them a rack, i want the individual pins so i can have them inset between the screw holes...that sounds almost pervy

I think what you're looking for is a "lapel pin," but your best bet would be to call one of the suppliers and verify the dimensions.

You might want to confirm with them that these are metal...
