Medal mounting in Alberta

[koldt]

Hi,

Anyone have a good place to have some medals and ribbons mounted? I would like to get them done with a brass/metal backing rather than a plastic back. I don't know if anyone uses brass any more.

I guess if the work is worth it, I could send them any where for that matter, but I'm in Alberta.

Thanks guys.

If you are in Calgary send me a pm and I'll put you in touch with a local guy that does mounting of medals for several of the local uniformed agencies.

Anybody in Edmonton or Shilo use any particular guy/company near them that uses old school material?

I had mine done by Neathway Medal Mounting in Redwater. I don't know if they can do them old school or not. Ph# is 780-942-3638

Are you looking to have them remounted for wearing or remounted for display?

I think for wearing, can also be mounted, could it not? Either way, at this point, wearing.

Check this guy out, military member, check out his shadow boxes. He's doing a number of project for local vets and the TMM.

That's nice work. I'll check him out.

Here's a pic of the backing I am looking for.

I thought they were all done like that,, plastic would just not stand up to a Remembrance Day Parade and a trip to the legion.

It's hard to find a guy who, doesn't use plastic backing.

I agree with the "demands" and need for the tactical mounting.
