Sorry about the delayed reply.. I had some Internet Issues, and some time management issues...
I've toyed for years with the idea of making a mold for waxes from an original medal or two.... but then total up the prices, and the fact that all I know about the process is from books, and no hands-on experience... and back off the idea.
I had the opportuntity (by pure chance) today to see a collection of shooting medals of a local gun club member. This gentleman and I had discussed this same idea months ago, but we both got sideracked. We were both at the range today for a match, and he brought his collection.
As others have mentioned; YES, there is definitely a market!
I'd buy 10 nice bronze or silver medals for Schützen right now... Only reason I wouldn't go with 20 is I can't afford it right now.
I may be emailing you to discuss what you think about some ideas...
Others; Thanks for the tips and contacts! I will follow them up as I have time!
I didn't expect such a response
