Kozzy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I can't seem to find anyone who supplies arrow stamps for metal (or even leather). It's easy to find the letter, number and a bunch of other symbols but I can't seem to find an arrow. Anyone ever remember seeing one? It's not really worth ordering or making a custom stamp *if* I can find any supplier who already makes one..no use re-inventing the wheel. I have currently been doing it -----> style with separate stamps but it doesn't look as professional as I'd like. It's to mark installation direction on some parts we machine in plastic (yea, I know, not smithing related but I was hoping you folks might be able to help).

notownkid Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Look at First Wood Chisel site on here tonight, it looks like he has an arrow stamp he used there?? I checked everywhere I buy from and no real arrows some things looked like they might work but not a true arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes I have seen them as a trademarked stamp on old tools. Also the /|\ broad arrow stamp on british issued items goes back several centuries I found no problem whatsoever finding a bunch of arrow stamps for sale by googling: arrow stamp on tools pretty much the entire fist page are good solid hits! What were you searching on? eg: What about the straight arrow stamp being sold on etsy for about US$9 ottofrei.com native american designs has a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've searched that same thing before (as well as all the alternatives I could think of) and came up with zero appropriate results. I guess I should have tried again before posting--just had the need come up and asked before looking again. You have my permission to test your newest hammer on my head.

ThomasPowers Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think my newest hammer was made in the 1980's...More interested in testing the old ones---got one around 200 years old steeled wrought iron, dug it out of the mud at a scrapyard in the UK....All is good now that you are finding them....
