Hello All,
I will soon be offering as an exclusive to the FX-Sabers community something that I myself commissioned.
This is completely outside the realm of my Laser Cutting/Engraving products.
And here is a teaser...
......….........
Challenge Medallions they are.
Here is a pic... More to follow.
Here is the design prototype pic as well.
These are 1.5" in diameter and almost 1/4" thick. Very thick - thicker than most any mediallion you may have ever handled - and all solid metal - and very weighty.
There is edge engraving:
"• UNLEARN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED • SKILL • COURAGE • SPIRIT • BODY • INSIGHT •"
Yoda's inspiring lesson to Luke as he trained to be a Jedi.
And the 5 Jedi Trials ("Flesh" and "Body" are interchanged)And engraving of the Original, Ancient Jedi Code:
"Emotion, yet Peace.
Ignorance, yet Knowledge.
Passion, yet Serenity.
Chaos, yet Harmony.
Death, yet the Force."The Jedi symbol is on the front.The challenge medallion has an antique silver finish, which really highlights the engraving and symbols - and gives a slightly weathered appearance. A sense of ancient wisdom.
Only available to FX Sabers' members who have been members for 3 or more months, and have 50 or more posts.
Each will be $15 (+ $2.50 shipping to US, $4 outside US) - and you may only purchase 1 (one of the Jedi, and 1 of the upcoming Sith medallions for a total of 2).Post your intent to acquire one in this thread and I will PM you with payment info. These are expected to be ready to ship to you by July 10th.
Only 70 will be available in this run.
And.... For you Sith out there... Yes, a Sith Medallion is coming... Not just yet though - so please be patient with me.Challenge medallions have a long and honored history in military units - and are held by accepted members with honor and pride. In gatherings of like minded individuals, the medallion is shown, and demonstrates union and camaraderie. Military myth says that the Medallion was first used to identify members within special units. The Medallions were to be carried always, and in a social gathering, when someone did not have their medallion, he would have to buy everyone with their medallion a drink.
...........................
Thank you for the excellent interest in my Jedi Medallions.
Please let me clarify some points of this offering:
- The Jedi Medallions are estimated to be ready to ship to you by July 10th.
- If you would like to acquire a Jedi Medallion, please post your intent on this thread.
- I will PM you when it is ready to ship to you with PayPal payment info.
- You may acquire ONE only, and only if you are an FX-Sabers' member with at least 3 months membership and at least 50 posts.
- The reason for only allowing ONE per member is not because of availability. It is to promote exclusivity to the members only. When you see someone else with this Jedi Medallion, you can be fairly sure that they are or have been a contributing member of the FX-Sabers' forums. This is an excellent community - let us promote this fellowship.
- If someone else who is not a member does want one of these Medallions, please encourage them to become an FX-Sabers' forum member. After 3 months and 50 posts, they can earn their Jedi Medallion. Our hobby can only grow and benefit from these new members.
- The Sith Medallions are not yet ready to be released. They are in the proofing phase - and I will post another thread when they are available. You should not post your intent to acquire a Sith Medallion in this Jedi Medallion thread. You will be able to acquire ONE Sith Medallion as well - so as a member, you may have both the Jedi and Sith Medallions. But only ONE of each.- Please do not sell your Medallion... I would be very disappointed to see these on eBay or some other venue.
Thank you again.
Respectfully,
Sanjuro
