Hi all,
So I bought the set of NOS (in the bag) 67 High Country Special fender badges. I opened the bag (sorry) and sent one to a mint that makes military coins and hiking stick badges… ya know, like the ones you see at National Parks.

I’m getting a rough estimate from the factory, but I need to have an idea of interest. I’m going to start with 25 sets and need to know if I have to adjust numbers from there. They will be exact reproductions, including the rivet holes (I’ll get a proof before I get the sets). They will be clearly marked on the back as reproductions so nobody tries to pass them off as originals.

How much interest is there?

-Patrick

Looks like there's little buzz out of the group, but I'm having 25 sets made. My cost is essentially $40 a piece. So, I will be selling them to 67 HCS owners with a Marti report. In fact, it might make a nice little addition to your Elite Marti Report (the framed one). I just blessed off the artwork, and I should have them in the next month or so.

Now that you have gone that far you should also do the 66 ones. All you would have to do is remove the 67other wise they are the same.

Quick Update on 67 Badges

The proof came back. Had to make a couple of minor adjustments. The pressing is virtually identical, and we're currently working on getting the colors as close as possible. I'm on proof #3 (#2 is pictured in the foreground).
