Achievement Shields
Achievement Shields
Pipers for more than 100 years have adorned their bagpipes with achievement shields marking special occasions or acknowledgement of accomplishments.
We are able to over as part of our laser engraving services 6 styles of shields in either Sterling Silver (925) or Aluminum 5052. Our shields are cut to precision using our laser, then polished to a high shine and finally laser engraved to your request.
We have found that the best thickness of material is 0.040" (1.016mm). This allows it to be engraved to a suitable depth to ensure it stands up over time. This also makes the shields strong enough to not be easily damaged or bent.
Silver prices are subject to change as the price of silver varies on the commodities market. We special order silver at the time of your order and as such delivery can be 4 to 6 weeks or longer.
We keep a small stock of aluminum on hand and shields can be ready as quickly as 2 to 3 weeks.
Once you have placed your order, email sales@ganaan.ca with your order number to work on the design for text that can be added to your shield.
