It seems like it has come up a few times recently on the forum that people are looking for a lighter, thinner badge than the clunky pewter ones generally available.

I'll just point out that there is another option, if you don't mind paying a bit more for quality.

Our hand cast sterling silver badges are much thinner and lighter than the typical pewter badge.

I just weighed one on a postal scale and it was .6 oz.
