Give your custom leather work, from knife sheaths to holsters, a distinguished maritime military character with this expertly crafted Coast Guard swag medallion and its comprehensive naval service imagery. Its detailed relief scene gives a Coast Guard cutter a prominent place across the lower part of the design. Above the vessel, two aircraft fly in formation to represent the Coast Guard's air-sea rescue capabilities. The distinctive Coast Guard shield, with its vertical stripes, is featured prominently on the right side. The antique nickel finish gives the piece a weathered, service-worn look that suits tactical gear and maritime equipment alike.
Built for professional leather crafters and dedicated hobbyists, it installs without a hitch in any existing #8 rivet or eyelet hole on your sheath or holster, thanks to the integrated screw post on its back. That post works the way a Chicago screw does, holding the medallion rock-solid and keeping the connection intact through extended use and harsh conditions. At 1.25 inches (1-1/4") across, it carries a commanding presence yet stays in proportion on most holster and sheath builds.
In raised relief, the design brings authentic Coast Guard imagery to life, showing the service's multi-mission capabilities through finely detailed sea and air elements. A bold border of "United States of America" and "Coast Guard" lettering rings the perimeter and reads clearly against the intricate maritime scene at the center. For your builds, it truly excels on nautical-themed holsters, tactical knife sheaths and maritime commemorative pieces where Coast Guard heritage and pride in service are held dear.
It is a good choice for custom Coast Guard orders and veteran tribute pieces, or any time a holster, sheath or other leather crafting project needs a distinctive maritime service identity. The tough antique nickel plating stands up to corrosion from salt air and moisture, and it holds its authentic weathered look through regular handling and marine environments.
