This morning I called Discriminating General in Canada regarding the Royal Welch Fusiliers stovepipe shako plate. They said that they could produce replicas of the plate but there is a caveat (there always is a caveat). The minimum order for such a custom job is 50 units and with a price of $60 per plate, whoever makes the order will be out $3,000. The minimum order size is also larger than the number of people that needs them, which also creates somewhat of a problem.
I might call them back next week to see about reducing the minimum order size. There is no need for 50 plates right now, although in the future the unit could possibly go through that many guys (especially if we ever do any film work). Hopefully I can convince the manufacturer that an order of 20 now with much potential in the future is equal to or better than an order of 50 now. We shall see.
