To Sal and everyone envolved,

Everyone here and my customer would like to thank you so much for rushing that Dept. of Corrections retirement badge as fast as you did. Our customer fell increasingly ill with cancer and his fate is coming faster than expected. Getting the badge in his family's hands meant the world to them and him.

Again, i know it is very difficult to rush items like badges because factory issues and procedures. You have gone above and beyond what is expected of you. Thank you again.

Sirs, Today I received my new Patriot SASS Badge in the mail. I would

like to let you know that this is one of the finest made products that

I have purchased in a very long time. I am glad to see that \"Made In

America\" is still available. I did not know that this quality of

workmanship even existed anymore. I hope that there will be thousands

more of your badges purchased, someone needs to spread the word that

American quality products such as yours are still available. Keep up the good work.

After reading some testimonials on the company I felt compelled to write. Many of the remarks were my feelings all along, but I realized that I had probably not made the folks at S&W aware. You guys truly are special. When I met Helena at SHOT show New Orleans a few years ago, my booth visit was short but long lasting- I'm still a customer! That attitude of service that was projected that day has never changed-only grown better. What a CAN-DO company from the top on down-not a slacker in the bunch, and a great product to boot! Thanks to Helena, Dawn & Lee, as well as all the crew behind the scenes that I may never know- we salute you.

I picked up the badge I ordered from my police supply dealer a few days ago. All I can say is, wow!!! Even though they are a Smith & Warren dealer, everyone commented on how beautiful the selection I decided on actually turned out. Very detailed. It was the M261D, Sil-Ray & Gold-Ray Panels and full color state seal. A nice selling point of the product was the warranty. I look forward to many years of use from this finely crafted product.

Keep up the good work!!

Lee, Recently one of our customer's fireman passed away and they wanted a badge for the showing. This badge had to be here for the showing within 2 days. I knew of only one company that would do this and contacted Smith and Warren. I talked to Sal and he responded as I knew he would. Both he and Erin went out of their way to make sure the customer received the badge. We even had to make a change in the badge during production but Sal and Erin came through. Please thank them for their great service and we look forward to doing more business with Smith and Warren in the future.
