Stickers and Patches
Glock Trinkets used to be GOLD!!! I do not have a firm date for the change-over from Gold to Silver, but it was quite awhile ago, possibly in the early 90s. There are still a lot of gold items around, but they are becoming more and more scarce.

And here we have the ubiquitous silver patch and sticker. These have been "standard issue" for many, many years, and can still be gotten for free at GSSF shoots, stocking dealers, or direct from Glock itself.

Also shown is a silver patch with a 2nd Generation G-17 pictured on it. Current Silver patches have the 3rd Generation (with Finger-Grooves and Rails) as shown in the other photos. As this shows there was at least one (and probably several) production run(s) with the 2nd Gen. frame shown. I'm almost positive there were 2nd-Gen. silver stickers as well, but we do not have one in the collection as yet, so no photo is available.

Here is a comparison of the same item, in both the older, gold style, and the newer, silver style. Note that there are some other detail changes, such as the "crosshairs" that are present on the Gold sticker are not on the Gold patch, etc.

Keychains and Pins
Flashlight - The Glock "Torch" is a key-chain flashlight, which, like the rest of the items here, was put out by Glock as a free promotional item. It has a single AA or AAA battery, and most of them won't be working by now. :-)

Keychains - This is one of several Glock Key Chains. Technically, the Glock "Torch" is a key-chain, or could be used as one, but this one and one other design are the primary types I'm aware of.

Globe Pin - In 1994, when the subcompact Glocks (G26 & G27) were brand new, this came out as a poster. I do not know positively when this pin came out, but it must have been extremely close to that.

New Pins - Here are the newest Glock pins. I have always heard them referred to as "hat pins". They are small, almost all polymer, and are fairly detailed for something their size, although, it seems to me that the not-much-larger G17 key-chains have better detail.

Tie Tac - I call this the Tie-Tac, because it has that type of fastener on the back, rather than the usual clutch-back.

Writing Utensils
Here are some pics of the various writing utensils Glock has given away over the years as novelty items.

Old Style Pen - The Black pen has a metal body and the block Glock logo with "Perfection" underneath.

New Pen - The Silver & Black pen is plastic and has a 3rd Generation G-17 on the body as well as "Glock" and in tiny letters "Perfection" on the pocket clip. This pen is refillable and is made in Germany.

Pencils - The Glock pencil is in your basic black coloring, even the eraser! I've photographed two pencils sitting above one another in order to see the entire logo, as it wraps about 3/4 of the way around the pencil's shaft.

GSSF (Glock Sport Shooting Foundation) Items
Below are the standard three items one gets for free upon joining GSSF. There is a hat, member sticker and membership card.

Also, for 2001 (and probably 2002, until they run out), the member also gets a 10th Anniversary Pin for joining.

The GSSF Mug is available through the GSSF or at the Shoots they put on, for $5. It is a fun and unique mug, and well worth the money, in my opinion. As you can see in the photos, there is a "bullet hole" all the way through the mug. I'm not sure how much this reduces the capacity of the mug, but it's conversational value is well worth it!

On the front of the mug is a stylized target and the GSSF logo & name. There is no marking on the back. On the bottom, the mug is marked "FBI" and "USA". The FBI worried me at first, but, then again, it isn't "ATF", so I assumed it must be the name/initials of the company who made it and quit worrying. There is no date marking, at least that I can find.

At GSSF Matches, the staff who run the match must be identified somehow. Some matches use shirts and/or hats, while others use these types of ID cards. These are not original Glock items, rather something that is produced locally by the different match organizers. This is but one example, as the number of matches, times the number of years they've been put on, plus the different styles (shirt, hat, badge, etc.) of ID can create quite a large number of variations on this theme.

GSSF RO Badge

The biggest GSSF match of the year is the Glock Annual Shoot in Conyers, GA and a special pin is given out to each competitor at the match.

Dealer Items
Here are some (not all) "Stocking Dealer" items. There are also stocking dealer shirts and other items. The cut-out sign and stocking dealer sticker are advertising items, as is the large black and silver "GLOCK" banner.

Glock Cutout Sign - this sign is a cardboard cutout of a third generation G17 (serial number DSL791) and is fully printed on both sides, showing both sides of the pistol (including the serial number, amazingly enough!). In the photo below, I've included the GSSF mug to show scale. These cut-outs are given (I'm sure some Dealers would argue that point) to Stocking Dealers for advertising.
Glock Stocking Dealer's Apron - this is a black cotton bar-be-que apron with the Glock Stocking dealer's logo embroidered onto it. These are part of the stocking dealer program, and presumably to be worn while working on/selling Glocks. :-) There is a pocket on the front, the neck loop is adjustable, and there are two ties to tie it around one's back.

Glock Shopping Bag - this is your typical plastic shopping bag with built-in handles, but with the Glock logo... If any of you watch any of the antique/collectible shows on PBS/Cable, you probably have noticed that it is the cheap packaging-type stuff that is generally considered disposable that goes up in price astronomically... In the Glock Field, this is the closest thing I've found to that type of thing...

Armorer Items
Law Enforcement and Stocking Dealers can send their personnel through the Glock Armorer's Course and Advanced Armorer's Course. The Armorer's Course is a one-day class where one learns how to completely detail strip a Glock, identify and replace broken parts, check "engagement", learn how to adjust/change sights, and check for proper functioning of the firing mechanism and safeties. There is a test and one's reward for passing is the award of the official Glock Armorer's Tool (Glock 3/32" punch).

The Advanced Armorer's Course is a three-day class, which is more in-depth, including memorizing the names of the parts, being able to identify them and what model pistol(s) they will fit on sight, and more refining and fixing of advanced problems. The Advanced Armorer's Kit is more extensive than the standard including the sight adjustment tools, but the other contents can vary.

Below are pics of the Armorer's Apron and the Glock Folder. (There are at least two generations of the Glock Folder. One has a 2nd Generation G-17 on the cover, while the other has a 3rd Generation G-17.)

These are pics of the current Armorer's Tool. Part number 3380. The older Armorer's tool has a completely different shape to the handle.

Below is the Glock Armorer's Manual. This manual (copyright 1999) is from the class I took in 2000, and consists of a plastic (naturally!) three-ring-binder-style cover with 60 pages of information on the inside. The Armorer's Course is a one-day event, where one learns how to function check the Glock handgun, verify the safeties are working properly, learn to completely detail strip the pistols, and how to replace parts. There is a test at the end of the class.

There is plenty of room inside the manual to take notes. This is an important note for those considering buying an Armorer's Manual on the 'net, or at a gunshow: There is a tremendous amount of information conveyed by the instructor teaching the class, which one cannot pick up by simply reading this manual! Not only that, but you are not certified without taking the class, so I'm sure the reaction won't be good in Smyrna if one calls and says, "but even though I never took the class, I read the manual..."

The "chapters" in the table of contents are:
1. Introduction
2. Safety
3. Field Stripping
4. Preventative Maintenance
5. Further Disassembly
6. Reassembly Procedures
7. Sight Removal and Installation
8. Service Procedures and Diagnostics

In addition, if you look in the pics of the opened manual, at the right edge of the page, you can see three tabs that are also present. They are:
1. Course Forms
2. Technical Bulletins (for updates that Glock mails to certified Armorers)
3. Parts and Order Forms

You can also see in the pics of the opened manual that it is lavishly illustrated with both black-and-white photos and drawings.

Miscellaneous Items
Here is the Glock paper block. I have very little info about it, that can not be discerned from looking at the pictures.

Here is the standard metal wall-sign that can be ordered directly from Glock for around $12 (2001).

There are two types of Glock Croakies. The earlier type say "Glock, Inc." on them, have a clip to attach to collar, and have plastic loops at the ends for attachment to the ear-pieces on the glasses. The later type are actually GSSF Croakies. They are of simpler construction, being made of a stretch material, with no clip, and the type of attachments where the earpiece's end is slipped into the croakie.

Glock Autopistols and the Glock Annual are one and the same magazine, published by Harris Publications. The Glock Annual is published for and distributed by Glock. They mail it out to GSSF members and anyone who calls Glock and asks for a copy. "Glock Autopistols" is the same magazine (with a different cover), published, distributed and sold through standard magazine outlets. The articles and ads are all related to Glocks, and some have characterized these as a magazine version of a Glock infomercial; however, real Glock afficionados still find much interesting information in them.

There have been at least four variations of the Glock ball. Some covered in rubber and some, like this one in stretch-material. Logos have slightly changed as well. As soon as other variations are acquired, pics will be added.
