These rubber stamps are now available from signsofwar.com. If they show up as out of stock contact him (Mick) and he will get some made.

That's funny, because I had him make a custom AN stamp for me and then suggested he put one on his product line.

Brand new personalized 'AN' stamp

For many years, I'd wanted to make an 'AN' stamp of my own. They usually had a three digit number underneath, and I wanted mine to read 337 as it's my first name upside down. I got a guy in the UK to make one and I just stamped all my A2 jackets with it, along with a correct AAF insignia in each...

I had a very good experience with him. Clearly he heeded the advice and I hope he sells plenty!

As for me, these are quite simple classic designs. Nowadays, however, it is very difficult to find such things even online, because few people want to work with their hands now! So these things are no longer in use. By the way, when I was looking for something similar for my old jacket to make a nice patch, I came across an interesting company stamp maker online. You can actually make a stamp of very cool quality there.

What Ink do you use for the Stamping?

I've used black India ink without any trouble whatsoever.
