GBS Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I have a pair of antlers that I want to mount on a shield. I would also like to put a small plaque below the antlers stating where and when it was shot. I'd like this plaque to be an old fashioned type with black letters on a white/ivory background. I suspect these are ivorine or plastic. Does anyone have any idea where to find such a thing? This is the best photograph I can find, I'd prefer a simpler shape but this shows the material I have in mind. TY, GBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Have you contacted any local taxidermists? They should be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Try the web for engravers near your postcode that is how I found such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try that, thank you. Likewise the old fashioned cobbler/hardware shop. 21 hours ago, Walker570 said: Try the web for engravers near your postcode that is how I found such. I will try this too. Thank you both, GBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 You could always try a 3d printed plaque with raised lettering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBS Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Found it! I contacted a taxidermist who put me in touch with an engraver. Thank you for all of the suggestions. GBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
