Tom...the badges are metal and are plated in three colors depending on your membership....the member badge is copper plated and quite attractive. The badge is made by the same company that makes the badges for the S&WCA and is the same size as the S&WCA badge.
You can order a badge by sending a check payable to the S&WHF for $55 to S&WHF, P O Box 1494, Great Bend, KS 67530. Put in a note indicating you want to order a badge and the name you want on the badge. You are limited to fifteen letters/numbers including spaces.
