Inspector Rubber stamp

[Edward]

years ago someone in California was making
EXACT reproduction of the OFFICIAL AAF HAP Arnold inspectors rubber stamp in REGULATION 1 inch diameter.
I’ve researched and can no longer find any info for the source. (Also looking to get the AN stamp)
I could get them made on my own but I’d sooner just purchase from m someone who’s already gotten them produced
Any clues?

I've been looking too. No luck so far. Will let you know if i find any.

Funny, I am looking for this right now as well. I just ordered a Star by Eastman (HPA) and it arrived on Monday. I love it, but as I understand it, in addition to the small AN inspector mark, it should have the slightly larger AAF mark on the lining in white depicted here. The jacket I received does not have the white one only the black AN mark. Not sure if the person who made my jacket forgot or what. I dont know that I want to send it back for such a small indiscretion, but when you buy a original maker jacket, the small details like that are important. Suggestions? Kevin

Didn‘t they use those stamps also on the sleeve instead of the Airforce Sticker

My wool 1942 A-4 flight suit has it in black stamped on the shoulder and inside.

Actually i’m Also not such a detail-addict but i’m Looking for a alternative to get that Airforce roundel on my B3 without using one of those stickers

Could use acrylics.
Carefully trace the rondel with a sheet of white graphite paper between it and the jacket and then paint.

Good luck with ever getting a hold of them. I tried all summer. Seems email is the only sure way.

want to borrow a stamp with ink pad?

 

[warguy]

You know I might take you upon that. I am not quite as bothered after hearing the responses posted in the other post that indicate not all Star jackets had this stamp. Out of curiosity, what is the diameter of the circle on your stamp? I know they came in different sizes. Thanks for the offer-Kevin

YES!!!!!!!!! Sorry. I know the offer was not directed at me but I would love to stamp both my A2 liners with that.

Oh, that's a very interesting exemplar. I heard that this stamp design is very rare to find. I would like to have it in my stamp collection.
