I've officially hit DW bottom.... I've stooped to replicating box labels Screwy...  They came out awesome and I couldn't be happier.  I made them a little bolder, just because I like the look.  Most of the labels I've seen were printed in brown, so I followed suit.  This is just the finishing touch my PP cases need...

I think they look pretty good compared to the originals...  If anyone has the gun with serno 182001, let me know and I'll mail you the original label.

Gonna start printing your own wrappers next (my God, we've created a Monster Surprised)?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Hey SHOOT:

Those are fabulous!  I find this post funny because for a couple of months now I've been contemplating reproducing the manila envelopes that the barrel tool and shim were packaged in.  I just have to find a label page setup that will work and then get the right color and weight paper and finally do the art work.

Shouldn't be too hard.roflroflrofl

Really nice job.

Somewhere I have some fake wrench envelopes I made a while back.  They are slightly larger, but they look good.

Opportunity to get yourself educated Laugh.... It took years of surfing the internet, trolling picture sights, picking peoples brains to get the knowledge I have in my head...and you can get it all here on the DWF for FREE!

(and yes, if I print another sheet of labels, I'll adjust font and they will be EXACT...) Then I'll just "age" them...

Shoot,

Guess I deserved that spankin' !   Now that I think about it, a CLEAR, READABLE label is a good idea. Just hope the "others" stay straight .

WOW ...where does it end?  Hopefully at your doorstep.  Otherwise, you may hear CZ-USA, Gunbroker.com, or a buyer knocking on your door one day.  poke

Shoot, those labels look fantastic! occasion Really cool idea.

Although...you may want to redo the one for the Model 40, since the 2½ & 4" barrels weren't available as far as I know. I've only seen 6, 8 & 10" for those.

Shoot, cool job on the labels. Although you know the irony of this is, We here at the ole DWF Sign Have guys that make pistol pacs and labels, we make front sights, we make grips, and even have a guy working on shrouds. When are we going to find someone to start making the dad blame guns?Wink  LOL

Very Nice Shoot,

Just looked at the label for my Model 375-V8S and it only has 8" listed for it.  So I guess they did do the labels a little different depending on the model.  I will get a picture of it post for your reference.

Also the label on this one is greenish blue one.

When are we going to find someone to start making the dad blame guns?Wink

Maybe we can offer to CZ to be the outsource for all items if they just build the "dad blame guns"?  That would reduce their inputLaugh
