Medallions on custom stocks, yes or no?

[jem102]

Just a curiosity question but when you get stocks from custom high end makers like Brown or Culina do you prefer them to have medallions or find them more aesthetically pleasing without? My collection is steadily growing but all have them so far, any reason to change that?

I prefer medallions when possible. Some materials, like certain types of stag, may not allow them.

 

[Alk8944]

I would prefer to have them with medallions

BTW, The word is aesthetically. An ascetic is a hermit or similar person.

Maybe the hermit is his target audience.

I prefer with the medallions with wood.

With antlers I can be satisfied either way.

Yep medallions when possible

 

[Marshal Tom]

I think they look nicer with them in most cases.

I like medallions. I have added them to 4 sets of VZ grips myself. They a touch of class.

I like medallions. Ken's stags on the left, Culina's on the right.

I prefer medallions but they need to be authentic ones. Also period correct The repros distract me.

I like prewar medallions on prewar guns.

I also prefer medallions...and yes, they can be used with stag stocks. Here are some from Pat Grashorn. I later dyed them because I thought they looked too white for a 1927 revolver and wanted them to look aged and match my knife scales. The medallions still look great!

Stag Grips

How do you dye stag grips? Asking for a friend

Thank you one and all, I will continue with medallions. I used spell check and must have clicked on the wrong selection. I appreciate the correction and have fixed it.
Best.

I'd like to know too. I like that "aged" look.

I, too, prefer medallions and got them on my Fishpaws, but I have trouble justifying them. I just think they look better.

However, Pachmayrs I prefer without medallions. Probably quit making SN-S Presentations before they started up with medallions, anyway.

Sorry to trash up your thread by discussing medallions on Goodyears.

Depending on the bark, the roughness, and the depth, not all stag is conducive for the placing of medallions. Your stags have been shaped and smoothed where the medallions are placed. Other grips have full "bark" coverage and it is simply too rough for proper installation.

If I have a choice, no medallions.

I like the medallions as well and all my custom grips to have the appropriate medallion in them. Look at the thumbnail picture near my screen name.
