I'm building a board with 1/350 scale models of the boats I served on.  Thanks to Ron's generosity I have now only one 'rocker' (ID shoulder tab) to get to have one for each of the boats.  However, I am missing one for USS Dace {the 607, not the WWII boat}.  Does anyone know of a reputable place I might order one made.  Just need one.  Found a place I could order them but a 50 run minimum and that is a bit many.

Thanks
Jim Christley

If all else fails, buying a U.S.S. Dale one for $10 and a bit of sewing skills and jury rigging might work.

Ron,

Does SubmarineShop do rockers?  Looked on website but didn't see any.

That looks like the other ones I have.  Not as wide as some of the more modern ones.  I found a place to order one made for $5.00.  https://www.rwne.com/uim.html   Might just get one from here.  Most they can do is  rip you off for $5.00 and cause you to have to change charge cards. 

Thanks

Not if you use PayPal.  They won't reveal your credit card information to the seller and I would guess their security is pretty good, as well.

The quantity is the killer on rockers.  We do Plank Owner and DILLIGAF and that is all.  We just one for a guy but the cost was $4 each and 25 minimum.
