When Annie Lee & I started this Rugers RATS thing, we parleyed & pondered long about RATS badges.
We decided it would be a royal pain. So we said RATS membership is for life & FREE. No charge---No Badges.
But after the RATS Outfit caught on---I had a couple made up (one for her & one for me) as Christmas presents. Sadly Annie passed away just before the two badges were done.
I am ponderin' gettin' RATS badges made again.
Please let me know who would be interested in a badge. The charge would be $95.00 as long as the builder will still do 'em. The logo (enameled Ruger Eagle) is done here at the shop. Ruger gave me permission over the phone to do it.
So RATS Pards who are interested----contact me here on the forum. If we have enough interest---It'll probably happen.
Here's what they'd look like.
"RATS POSSE" or "DIRTY RATS" on top line.
"YOUR ALIAS" on bottom line.
"YOUR RATS No" on bottom point.
I think it's a GREAT idea ;D ;D ;D
I'd wear one proudly.
Yes, I'll wear one here Downunder as a Proud Ruger owner 8)
Dakota 8)
A RATS Badge is a great idea. Count me in. I would be proud to display my loyalty to Ruger.
Great idea Gregg! I'd like to own one.
I want one too.
would it possible for em to say "diry rat"? ;D
if you do make these available, will the red ruger pin be included with the badge ready to assemble or would each person have to provide their own ruger pin?
I have a bunch of the RUGER EAGLE enameled centers on hand (maybe 10 or 15).
If we do this, I'd just include them in the first batch of badges (until they run out). So they would be free to the first wave of RATS badge owners.
As far as the DIRTY RATS engravin', I'll have to check.
I don't know if they would hit me for an extry engravin' charge or not. ??? ??? ???
I will just leave this post open & see what kinda response we get.
Then if we get a lotta requests, I'll give out my address to send checks to.
Delivery time was 8 weeks one the first order.
Mustang Gregg
I'd go fer two since me and the hubby both be RATS and friends of Annie's.
I would sure like one to!! ;D ;D ;D
NOTICE! Dated August 2016.
THE PRICE HAS INCREASED (AND I'M STILL LOSING MONEY ON MAKING THESE) TO $95.00.
Email me for a pre-made order form.
I reckon I have the details figgered out now.
Email address:
mustanggregg@neb.rr.com
Or better yet:
Here (below) is an order form to print off & mail!
There is a problem communicating with the CAS City server computer.
I can modify the address, but cannot modify the price. Anyhoo, the price is now $95.00 each including the shipping.
I have made a correction:
Please make the checks to just "GREGG CLEMENT".
Not "MUSTANG GREGG CLEMENT".
My mistake.
MG
Hey Mustang:
I would surely be a gettin one of them there badges if'in ya made them up.
Dr. Cletus Pineboxx :)
Dr. Cletus Pineboxx:
There have been several ordered so far. I expect the first shipment to get to me by early May. I got home from Tucson & Tombstone the other day & I have several more letters with orders to process.
If ye want one, there is an order blank on the 1st post. Please use it. I can't do it by email or phone.
MG
We got the first 3 badges in.
They are: Knuckelhead, Calamity JoAnne & Will Brigand.
I will attach the Ruger eagles & ship them out tomorrow.
EDIT: Eagles are on & they will go out on the mornin' Phony Express (US Mail).
MG
BTT
What's the charge? And where do I send my gold dust/
I recollect it is $95.00 delivered.
See this same thread above for the order blank.
Will send mine in as soon as funds to do so are obtained.
Sent you a pm because I can't download the form.
I will send you a form by email.
I just found out that the badge manufacturers' price went up in January and so did USPS & UPS. >:(
Damn it! They upped the shipping and the badge prices on me again.
They say it is because of the metals markets & fuel surcharges. >:(
I will modify the order form to reflect $85.00 total cost, instead of $75.00. :'(
Let's just make the change effective on 01 FEB 2008.
EDIT..EDIT..EDIT..EDIT..August 2016The price is now $95.00 and I'm still losing money.
Manassas Jack, I will honor your order with the older price. And any others that get to me before the end of the week. 8)
Your Pard,
MG
Howdy MG......well I've been ponderin' this badge order form and even through I was able to do it at least once (I have my badge!!) I just can't seem to be able to get back there. I am at the "we said we'd never do it again,but...." page, from the top all the way down to the bottom where it say 'here is an order form to print & mail!'..........but I just cain't find it!!!!!! Best of luck on your current duty assignment...............and yes my badge did arrive BEFORE Christmas!!.....................take care...........Limpin'
Manassas Jack:
I just got your order. The process will begin today.
EDIT:
BTW: The badges will have to go up to $85.00 to break even. Yours will be fine, though, Bob!
MG
Howdy MG,
I'll take one too!!!!! Downloaded the form and after you email the go ahead, I'll mail you a check for $85.00. I am also a member of "ROBS". It was started a couple of years ago called the "Royal Order of Bisley Shooters." Thanks again for the interest in Ruger Shooters.

It will be made up ASAP.

The price had to go up a might for both the badge (material, they tell me) AND the shipping cost. Go figure!
Anyhoo, the latest deal is $85.00 to your door.
Evidentally the website or the CAS City site still shows the old price. And I have updated it several times. >:(
Actually, I lose money at $85.00.
MG
I would love one of those but could you get it to the UK? and where do the enamel centers come from?
I'm sure it could be sent.
Colonel MG, If you can work me out a price inc shipping and a method of payment then count me in please and I will supply address details on request. (I'm getting excited now!!)
Sent you a PM.
I think it is a great Idea!!! add me to list of guys that one to wear one
Judge:
Look closer to the top of this thread. I think there is an order form you can print off & mail in for a badge.
Warning---Them badges have gone up in price a little $$$.
I recollect they are about $80 or $85 now.
We haven't made one for a couple of months.
If you're interested, let me know.

Had the last shoot of the year at "The People's Republic of Boulder, CO" today. I proudly adorned my blouse with the awesome R.A.T.S. Posse badge for all to see. There was a bunch of very impressed Pards who have never heard of RATS; henceforth, I was very informative; hopefully, you get a little busier from some of my posse here in the Colorado Territory. Dang the is a rightly handsome badge!!! HooooRaaahhhh ;D

Prayers up for you to return home safe and sound. Whenever it's possible, I would like to add my name to the waiting list for a Dirty RAT badge. Haven't ever met another RAT, but we signed up for Winter Range in 2012, so maybe I'll see some badges there. :D Plan on shooting the BP night shoot.
I'll get your alias in BOLD soon. I just cannot do it due to some dang glitch in this computer.
I know you wanna be a DIRTY RAT.
BOLD works everywhere, except on the RATS list. ???

Thanks! I was asking about a RAT badge.....know it's gonna be some time before it can be done, but just wanted to put in my name for one whenever it's possible to order one again.

Just keep the order form handy and send it with a check next May.
It will take just over a month to get one all done up.

I have my order form and will keep it ready to be filled out when you get back.
Mustang Gregg,
I've got my badge form ready and a'waitin' your return. Looks like a lot of folks do. I will probably hold off a decent interval and allow you to aclimatize to the homelands. I appreciate your service and sacrifice and we look forward to having you home safely. Take care old hoss.

RATS Pards:
I am still in the Warrior Transition Battalion, but I have a bunch of "use or lose" leave that I have to burn before 30 Sep.
So I will be at home enough over the next few weeks and be able to get new badges going.
Go ahead and send them orders forms to me.

Received my RATS badge(s) yesterday. I couldn't decide which I wanted (mostly I shoots the holy black but confess that sometimes I backslide into the heathen powder as well). Both badges are as slick as I had suspected and I am well pleased. I will be a'wearin one or t'other whenever my Rugers roar.
Many thanks to Mustang for all of the work he puts into this endeavor. He is a true gentleman.

RATS Pards:
I just found out that I've lost money on the last few badges. :o :o
I wish I didn't have to do it, but we have to raise the badge price.
With the inflated material and shipping the price is now $95.00 each.
All options will stay the same and should be shipped to you within 35 to 40 days.
Please understand that it will take awhile to get new order forms made. But the only change will be $85 is now $95.
Much obliged for understanding,

No. But I have one or two left, I recollect. The rest are R only.
I haven't made a badge in quite a spell.
How much are they now? Got a pic?
Same price (give or take $5.00). I'll have to make a couple of calls to find out what the blank badges will cost me.
There should be a badge pic on one of the first posts on this thread.
I'm not on the computer with the images.

While you are checking on blank badges, would you look into a "Possy Reserve" or similar type?
I am old Enough that I would not feel 'right' in the 'Front Lines' any more.

Marshall Gregg,
Yes, i did but a "Work call that lasted 9 days over the Last Three weeks and entailed 9 and 11 Hour Work days delayed My Response.
Wednesday I set the response order with check out for USPS pickup on Thursday, and it was Picked Up by The USPS Mail Carrier in the afternoon, so it is "in The Mails" now.
Please Let me know when you receive the order and then please Let me know when the Badge is mailed?
Best regards,
Chev. William
Nothing yet.
It got here. I sent you an email.
Since I haven't heard back from you, I'm going to call.
MG
Damn! I knew something didn't look right.
I just ordered the latest badge and the base cost is over $90.
I guess you must have looked at the .pdf showing $85.00 order blank (which I can't change on this website).
So all subsequent orders will be at least $95.00 for the RATS badges.

Mustang Gregg,
My R.A.T.S. Badge, #736, Arrived in today's Mail and it Looks GREAT!
Now i will get a 'Carrier Wallet' to fit it and I will be Proud to show It when at My Local Range with my Ruger Revolvers.
By the way, I am Buying a second 'Single Six' and it is a Used 'New Model' in .32 H&R Magnum that I will be getting a custom Cylinder made to fi tit for .32 Long Colt as an Alternative Caliber for it.
Thank You Again,
Best Regards,
Chev. William
My Ordered Badge wallet arrived Yesterday evening and I am Saddened to report that the 'cutout is slightly smaller than my Badge and will need to be Trimmed to allow a Fit.
This could be either a change in tooling by the Badge maker or an undersized punch at the Wallet Maker.
I will be Carefully trimming the "Cutout" by hand until my Badge fits it properly.
For what it is worth:
The Label on the Wallet 'Baggie" says: Strong Leather Co. Badge Shape 967, Double ID Badge Wallet with credit card slots, ID's are back to back, Black Leather, item No. 79500-967, Max. card size 3" x 3 1/2", fits the following badges: Blackington B2517P, Badge height 3", width 2.69", badge shape 967 and an outline drawing that looks like the outline for the badge shape I ordered, 'Smith and Wellan #262L'.
Vendor substitution or Error?????
It does not matter as I can make it fit with some rework.
Best Regards,
Chev. William #736
Just off the top of my head, they 9S&W Badge) are a model #262L.
But I would check before I did any cutting.

Just off the top of my head, they 9S&W Badge) are a model #262L.
But I would check before I did any cutting.
It appears that the "967" badge and the "262L" badge share the Outline but there MAY be a slight difference in Manufacturer's Punches involved. My "262L" badge is slightly Bigger,Top to Bottom, than the cutout in the wallet. Side to Side it seems to match and the Top contour does Match the cutout very closely.
The Bottom contour is slightly different and as such does not exactly match the Wallet cutout exactly. The Space between the top two 'Star" tip balls and the Bottom two is also slightly longer in the Badge but would seem to go in if pushed.
Anyway, It is now with a Professional Leather Worker/Saddle Maker to be 'trimmed' to fit my Badge and he will also make a piece of leather to go in the "pocket" along with the badge to keep the Pin Back from wearing hole sin the outside of the wallet.
the same professional is going to make a simple Holster to fit my Ruger Long Barrel Single Eight so I will be 'Properly outfitted' eventually.
By the way. this is the same person who restored a ~1906 Winchester "Leg of Mutton" take down rifle Scabbard for me that I bought off Ebay. He had to Hand Stitch EVERY joint an replace the Handle and one Strap. Unfortunately it is not long enough for my Win. 1890 Rifles but it is long enough to take a Stevens Favorite in two parts.
Best Regards,
Chev. William
I picked up the Badge wallet and Holster this Week.
The badge Wallet is now a Much Better fit to the S&W262L Badge and the added Leather 'buffer' insert appears to be protecting the Woven Polymer Material of the Back of the Wallet well. Now to Make up The Identification Card Insert and start wearing it.
The Holster Looks very good with My revolver in it. Now I am waiting upon a Belt to put it on.
At Least the 'Heavy Campaign Rhetoric Coverage' is winding down again.
All slowly coming together.

This Badge Wallet has a Leather Outer Face lined with 'Nylon Cloth" for a Bill Pocket. the ID flap is Two sided with clear plastic windows on both sides. the opposite main side has four Pockets for 'Credit Card Size' items and also visible is a soft 'Swede' flap to protect the Badge finish. It comes with an insert which takes the Pin back to hold the badge in place. I had my Leather Worker / Saddle maker make an additional insert piece to prevent the Pin back cutting through The Pocket 'Nylon Cloth' back.
This is done in all over Black finish. It came with a Small Sticker stating: "Made in India".
Overall, i am pleased with how the Wallet came out now tha tit is fitted for this badge.

I believe we will cease making RATS badges.
The interest has dropped off and the blank badge price has got very high and I've run out the eagle medallions with SR on them.
The only new ones that I can find only have an R in them and they are a different dimension.
I'm very sorry to let you all know this.
Thank you for all of your RATS support,
RUGERS FOREVER!!

Sad News; but at least I still have mine in my wallet carrier.
I also have added a photo ID card to the Wallet.
