Great ideas Ron and keep them coming. Considering what may be thought of I figured that a more acceptable cross would be more like the(if I can find someone to make these affordable)is a Prussian/Tyrolian Campaign/Regimental Cross circa 1840s.

It has four arms somewhat like the classic Ehrenkreuz, but not exact. Also, the arms are split up and in the middle is a rectangle box with a soldier marching directly at you and he is wearing the uniform of a soldier of Napoleons time. It does look rather nice for a Regimental badge. The badge is made of a silvery metal. What I was thinking of was to have top are saying: "Forum" bottom are: "Member" left are: "WW2N and right arm saying .com

It would be a pin about 3/4 or 1/2 inch in size. However--checking on a few places on making this pin would cost appx $700.00 and I would have to order a minimum of 250. Could also have the pin numbered, and would make for an instant collectable--as there would be no more thasn 250 made (since I couldnt afford it)

The pin would actuall look more British or Frainch--in design--and nobody would ever be able to see that it was in reference to a German Regiment. Besides--ALL European Military uniforms at that time was basically the same--just minor differences in placement of buttons or colors--things like that.

In order to make my money back on that--I would have to sell these pins at a minimum of $20.00 each--which is WAYYYYY too much higher that I envisioned. Actually I was thinking of $5--to $10.00 at the highest--for these. I would have to sell at least 70 of these at $10.00 each--just to break even.

Now if I can get them done for a much lower price--then I could sell them at $5.00. Also if the price is different--say if it had to be $10.00 for one--then I would make a deal and sell two at $15.00.

I have done alot of research on having caps made, and found that that is not feasable.

I think for now--T-Shirts and Bumper Stickers and maybe hand embroidered patches--are the way to go.

Anyway--im always looking for more feedback into this and any better ideas. [img]smile.gif[/img]
