I got a brand new airsoft mask for x-mas and i decided to paint it in the CM armor colors....and then thought, why not add my service number to it as well. here is my dilemma, i want one of those metal strips that are on military gear with my service number on it but i don't even know what they are called, let alone to even find where to get made.

anyone think they can help out?

Do you have a pic of what you're after?

I believe the term you are looking for is (Data Plate)

Aah, like the one someone (Derrick Baena?) did for the side of a Pulse Rifle?

That's even a decal set with that for cases if you want to have your pulse rifle stored. I have a set of those when I pack my rifle away for when I head to any cons.

I print them on transparent sticky label, then I stick those to foil tape. Low rent solution but I like it.

BTW Foil tape is the stuff in the hardware store used for sealing duct work, usually in the ductwork/sheet metal aisle of the hardware store.

Trophy shops and custom engravers would be a good place to look for this. They can print directly onto thin metal label plates. Marcell has done similar projects.

You can also go to a trophy shop, they can stamp one out for you.
