What was the name of the gun store. do you think they still have them..
Made my own. 8) Flatgate may show a picture... :wink: I recall The RCA had doweled prop rods made with the old Red Backgnd Silver Blackhawk, back in the eighties. Simply a grip emblem inset on the end of a 5/8th or 3/4" dowel rod........Show much better than the large emblems, I suggest.......... 
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some myself.

Frankly, I also ground the loop (for the keyring) off of some Ruger emblems(Potmetal type) which were about 1"+/-(Ruger keychain and/or Pinetree casting givaways) and goop glued them onto/over the Taurus emblem on a bunch of Taurus translucent prop rods a closed business gave to me in a box of "Take this stuff, or it's going out to the white elephant, Mike". They worked as well, just larger as noted earlier..... 8)T.A. WORKMAN said:
I made some a while back to see if there was any "REAL" interest.
A little, but not enough to make it worth one's time.
Everybody that replied to my post... I offered to send them one for free, just needed a address.
Out of 15 only 4 PM'd me a address.... go figure.

And sorry I think these look way better than the Plastic & Paint.
3/4" dowel, Dark Wood was Walnut, Lighter wood was Cherry.
The Medallions cost $2.50ea, the Dowel was ~$2 ea, a little epoxy, satin, sandpaper & scotchbrite.
I'm sure one could buy the wood for less in quanity.
I cut them just under 5" getting 6 out of a 30" dowel. (~$12)
The Walnut/ Cherry does look good but don't know if I would spend the extra $$,,, would probably just go w/ a hardwood dowel (~$4) and stain it dark next time, after all, it's just a stick. :roll:
