Where to buy a circular medallion for a bow riser?
« on: March 05, 2012, 11:09:00 AM »
I would like to put a circular button, pin or medallion with a wild boar motif on a bow that is being built for me. It needs to be no more than 3/4" in diameter.

I have checked the net and looked at buttons, pins and medallions but either they are too big or they are not circular in shape.

If a wild boar medallion is not possible, I may still consider an archery related motif.

If you know of a place where such things are available, please let me know.

The motif, could be in pewter, brass or sterling silver.

Thanks.

When using button type pins, they are concave and made of thin metal and can get dented. What about your state quarter? Or a buffalo head nickle? Or search American Indian memorabilia, you may fins something cool.

Thanks for the suggestions. Have shortlisted the buffalo head and American Indian 5 cent piece but still looking for old Sus scrofa if possible.

I looked on the web and ***** had some stuff under vintage archery. Also found a website that was custom minting,it's called Northwest Territorial Mint. You could just google medallion for archery or something like that and a lot of stuff came up.

Alexander, the Northwest Territorial Mint has some excellent pieces. Currently cannot find anything within my max size but will give the site a thorough search.
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions.

Thanks Centaur. Had no idea the sterling silver gee-gaws would be that expensive. Way out of my budget but thanks all the same.

A Bermuda one cent coin might work for you.

Check out your trophy supply co, they have archery related medilians. Our archery club had medalians custom made for the kids for cheap.
