I am looking for a set of grips with a caduceus symbol (medical symbol with the two serpants up a pole with wings). Just wondering if anyone knew anyone who could do something like this, either by placing an object in the grips or engraving or last resort printing on grips then clear gloss finish over.

thanks guys

You do know that a Caduceus does not have wings.

USAF Caduceus do - or at leat they did. Perhaps others as well (flight medic, etc.)

Sarge does a great job if you can provide a charm or something. I did it with a silver family crest and it came out great.

The shame of it all! It's been fixed and turned into a dedicated .22 plinker.
Nice grips, Clyde!

I stand corrected. Upon further research the winged version is the accepted Caduceus. This is what I understand this is the older version.

If you can find one made out of a good metal and the right size, I can do it and do it well. What is your budget? Also, what kind of wood are you thinking about?

I was going to recommend DSPLaser, but someone beat me to it. From what I have seen, they do very good engraving if that's the direction you'd like to go.

If you have an engraving shop in your area they can most likely do it right there for you!!!

Here is a slide that my shop laser engraved for me. Sorry, I do not have a set of grips that they have done.

Here is a gun box that they also engraved.
