Hi, I wondered if there was anyone on DSF who would be willing and able to embroider a reproduction of the images below.
I'm going to a 1940's bash as an ARP Warden and would like these to sew onto a boiler-suit.
Please PM with prices etc.
Many Thanks in advance.
Simon

Is it just a one off you want, or is it a bigger number?
To be honest if its a one off ebay or similar is by far your best option as they are already made, to set up a one off patch and sew/finish and send would seem crazy expensive by comparison.

Thanks for the reply.
It is just a one off for the three badges. I wasn't sure what it would take to embroider TBH, I'd envisaged it would be cheaper then original badges.

Buy them! In all honesty with patches they are usually sewn in hundreds or larger quantities. We certainly wouldnt do it any cheaper for just a pair.

Rightoe, wasn't realistically sure if repo's would be cheaper, but had hoped they might be because I'm trying to stick within a budget.
Thanks for the advice

They would be if you wanted 500, but the setup is the biggest cost. Sorry I cant help more.
