TR2/3/3A Commission Plate Number Stamping

I practiced a lot when I duplicated my commission plate. I used aluminium roof flashing and placed a bunch of different materials behind the flashing and different size hammers to get the correct impression on the plate. I also learned why the numbers were not very straight on the original plates and that was because Triumph employed veterans from WW2 that were too handicapped to hold a regular jobs. So to honor the Vet that did mine I closely tweaked each number like the original.
