Finagler 6853 Life Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Got an email from SASS HQ offering their "Patriot" badge for sale. It looks purty enough but is it going to hold up, sturdy enough to be worn at matches or just put in a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Not sure, but I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I balked at the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The price got me too! It is pretty, and my "basic" badge broke when I tried to put it in my badge holder so I clicked the link. But too rich for my blood at this time. I'll have to figure out some way to repair my badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I have had mine for several years. Worn to at least one match per month during that period. Still looks new and IMHO pretty classy. Didn’t get it thinking about price, got it to support the game I love. Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 John Kloehr....... Take your badge to a jewelry shop that does repairs and caution them to fix it right. PATRIOT BADGE I have not seen the patriot badge. Is it available to all members? Is there a photograph of it somewhere on the site?

Alpo Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Several years ago I paid $400 for this one. I don't see the need to buy another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCandless Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 It was just a couple of months ago where people were lining up in a thread here, exclaiming how they'd absolutely want to buy a Patriot Badge.

Alpo Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 No that was probably about another 400. Awful damn pretty though, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Seems like the last time these were sold a part of the cost went to different pro gun organizations that fight to protect our 2A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and order now. Don't remember how long of lead time to get mine but each badge is essentially a one-off custom with your alias/number. Get your order in now and it will still be bit before it comes in and you can actually pin it on. BTW have fun at EOT. sure wish life would settle down and let me hang with my pards (you guys) again!!! Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Actually I don’t have anything that refers to me as Patriot. No t-shirts, ball caps, tattoos. I kind of reserve that term in my head for guys like Jefferson, Adams, and that crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Wilson Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 So, when the thread came up a few weeks ago I said I would buy one. I ordered mine today, I figure the C-note will go towards helping SASS and I want to support our sport. I think it will look very nice on my Levi jacket.

Actually it looks a bit too much like an actual LEO badge to walk into a convenience store in my opinion. Especially in today’s environment. At the range sure.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Actually $100 is not out of line for a customized badge. About 20 years ago, I paid $85 for a department badge with my badge number on it. I'm sure the SASS office is making something off the deal but probably not a lot. I prefer my Regulator's badge anyway. I got it for free, except for all the years of sweat involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
