Pins. Not for sewing...

Hey all,
Some time ago, I acquired a cool, pewter Dark Angels lapel pin as part of a trade. I'd asked the trader if they knew where this pin came from, but never got a response.
Anyone know of someplace that lists all the lapel pins GW produced? This one is the typical DA "Watcher in the Dark" style, holding an inverted sword. Two pins in the back, stamped as GW-made. Made of pewter.

A Google search for "Dark Angels Pin" typically only shows me links to goth fashion sites, lol.

If you add the ) that is not hyperlinked then you see them. Actually a pretty cool collection of icons.

I think it was a company called Bulldog that used to make these for GW. I used to work for GW 10+ years ago and we used to stock these in the shop. I had the Inquisition symbol both as a badge and a key chain. I wish I still had those... One of the store employees got the big Chaos Star with a skull in the middle as a belt buckle he'd wear to work.

I've gone through two of the Bulldog Aquila belt buckles. They tend to bend and eventually snap. Fortunately, I've still got two of them, thanks to Bartertown.

And the stuff on that site. Once I'm gainfully employed (start new job Monday) and caught up, yeah, some of it's mine........................

The company is called Bulldog Buckle Co., I don't know if they're still in business, or if they're still producing GW stock, but I had a couple of pieces, and was very pleased with their construction and style.
