AVG repro leather Blood Chit advice...

[Brettafett]

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend where to source a repro AVG leather Blood Chit for a reasonable price?
I am aware of a few, US Wings, Flightjacket, etc...
I am toying with the idea of slapping one onto a jacket.

Why not have a go at painting one yourself? A decent piece of leather, a few pots of model enamel, it will probably look more authentic than some of the 'printed' painted blood chits I have seen. For the Chinese script, why not chat up someone who can write it using a paintbrush etc. But! before you commit the text to the leather, take it to another conversent in the language. You dont want to be walking around advertising crispy duck and special spring rolls for Mr Chong's takaway do you

Check out the WWII section on the main forum, there are a couple of folks who post in that section who do very good work. Other than that, Aero in Scotland do some very nice layered leather blood chits, they just don't advertise them much. I have had the early Chinese and later Burmese and been very happy them.

Would love to do it myself, right up mu alley. Unfort, where I am means ordering leather, paint and brushes etc... May as well just buy one (if I can find a good one)... Anyway, just an idea at this point. May even do some back art

Try the 'bay and type leather blood chit; A2jacketpatches is the guy to go to. Sean does incredible work! He's done several custom items for me, including a double flag (Chinese/American) with anchor Navy blood chit. This guy is great and can make anything in leather.

I'd recommend one of the guys here (Johnny or Sean) for a first rate piece.
There's also a good looking one for sale on the Gibson Barnes page. There are some real life images floating around on the web.
