I am on a mission to find out if there is a maker of small, metal stamps, that small that I can use one to stamp an imprint onto the base of a cartridge, an outline of a camel of all things. :wink: Do any of you know if there is someone here who would do something like that. What should I ask mr Google to look for ?

I have a set of metal stamps I purchased years ago. If I can find them in the shed I'll measure them up, but I suspect they won't be small enough for a cartridge case....at least not any of that 20 cal stuff :lol:

Get them laser etched. If ours was up and running I'd offer to help.

Thanks fellas, have been googling merrily away for the last half hour, and strangely gibbering shit on the phone at the same time, found three companies that I will be giving a phone call to in the next few days and asking some questions. A couple of them offer custom metal stamps of my design, so hopefully something will come of those phone calls.
Thought of laser etching, dunno if its available anywhere near me, but will look into it further.

Thinking of a headstamp that is 25 Camel on one side and an imprint of a camel on the opposite side, or maybe 257 Camel with the imprint as per the other. will be getting the barrel marked the same as what ever I end up deciding on.

Other ideas or preferences welcome. Ill even make up a heap of give aways for those who want one for their collection. Don't ask just yet, this will probably take a while to get the gear and parts together, Ill put something up after its a job competed.
