Steampunk Aviator Pin, by Friston’s Shop
On a longutital topic associated with the previously mentioned poll question, I did think it was a bit disingenous simply leave the question hanging regarding where one might obtain interesting, but non-real-military, medals. Therefore, I made a small list of links and leads to companies and individuals who specialize in said items. Some are badges, some are medals, but all are quite unique, and to the best of my estimation, are not related to current militaries, so do consider a view, if you’d like… (I’ve taken the liberty of making the url link directly to a specific item, if the vendor does not specifically specialize in Steampunk items)!
