i have an older rossi 92 in 357. it has the puma medallion on the left side of the receiver. the medallion fell off and i need to find another.

I AM PRETTY SURE THE PUMAS-BE-US STORE RIGHT THERE OFF I-90 BETWEEN THE WESTERN STORE AND THE ITTY-BITTY-TITTY-COMMITTEE BAR 'N' GRILL HAS THEM IN NUMEROUS COLORS, SIZES AND TEXTURES....

I really need a headshakin' smiley...

What does it look like without the medallion? Got a pic, you know, just for reference?

Dang! I dont blame you for looking to fix it. Not many folks would be able to ignore that!

better than an empty hole anyway

I think its awesome! Wanted to suggest a coin but was afraid none would fit.
That being silver you could solder that pup in & never lose it!

touch of j.b. would hold it in and could be got out with some heat
if necessary.

scottw-your coin choice is awesome.

Makes me want to find a old Puma to redo.

Wow Scott,
about 20 years ago when I got my first Rossi '92 I hated that Puma medalion.
I tried whacking it off. Just glad I never had the brains to get it off as it does look pretty sorrowfull without anything there.

The guys have given you a fine fill-in.

Kirby.

I like the Liberty dollar best, plus, you know you increased the value of the gun and if you MUST you could pry it out and buy something with it. Makes that the ultimate survival gun!

I really appreciate the pic (which I've stolen) as I'd never seen a receiver sans medallion. Thank you VERY much.

a burnished "Indian head" nickle works pretty well
