Default Reproducing QA stamps and the like!

Hi All

As part of restoring WW2 radio kit I like to respray the metalwork but I lose the nice original QA stamps etc.

Anyway, The chosen route is simply to take a photo of the originals and send it to a 'custom rubber stamp' company. I kept individual spacings if there were more than one but interleaving them with others for economy then cutting the stamp to seperate individual clusters. The stamps have a sticky backing.

Anyway - results attached - makes three different stamps

Cheers
James
