JamesST Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just had a customer bring in a shield they had done at Mr T's and they put the wrong year on it. They didn't have spare plates so she came to me. I have not seen these before and can't find them in any of my suppliers. Anyone know where to get these 2 tone shields or if anyone has a couple?

Gray Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 https://www.countyengraving.co.uk/annual-and-single-shields-50-c.asp These seem to sell similar shields. You could ask them if they have any date shields. JamesST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 The gold bits are probably stuck in. You could possibly remove & reverse it to get you out of trouble or cut a new one out of gold trophy plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesST Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Apparently they are from Trendsetting, but they don't stock spares!!!! A good idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 If it was engraved wrong why don’t they go back and demand it was put right. Why did they accept it and leave unless it was them who gave the wrong year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesST Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 She did, but they couldn't do anything as they didn't have another shield, so ended up with me as so many do! We are all human and make mistakes.......... More concerning is a supplier who doesn't supply spare parts for products they sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 This is what I would do then. Remove the bottom centre shield, Engrave it properly Put in place of the one that Timpsons fucked up, and replace the bottom centre shield with a similar shaped shield for now.
