Stamp sets with old timeie fonts?

[Scota4570]

Where can I get them for stamping barrels etc. ?  I was hoping to find some, cyrillic?,  font stamps that look more like old Winchester or Colt ?  I sometimes want to mark a barrel for caliber or a lockplate.  I also do work on single shot breechloaders.  Although I have a jig that works really well, the stamps are not so hot.  I got them from Brownells.  The font is so plain and modern looking I hate to use it on anything that represents a time before 1900.   Any suggestion on an outfit that makes such stamp sets.  Before it is suggested, I don't have the skill to engrave tiny little numbers.   

Thanks,

Scot

I too have been keeping an eye out for a stamp set with a more suitable, older style, font. Hope someone knows of a source.

A friend of mine has accumulated nearly a dozen sets of antique stamps by being patient and searching ebay constantly.

Scota, I don't think you want Cyrrilic unless you are wanting to build Ruskii guns

If I remember correctly the old P53 Enfield rifle muskets had stamps that were Roman Una Pica.

Infinity Stamps has several older style fonts  in both number and letter

They are not cheap though!

Another possibility is Impressart in NY

They have a number of selections of which a few are probably suitible for what we do here.
The CAnterbury and Newsprint styles would look OK I think,,at least better than the plain block lettering of most available stamps out there.
Prices are a bit easier on the credit card too.

Found these guys.  Not sure i can justify $500 on a stamp set though.
