I am looking to purchase a gavel in Singapore but I can't seem to find any information online.
I would like to know where to purchase it and how much is it? If you ever come across or know anything about, I would appreciate if you could advise me on this.
NLB has not been able to locate a local supplier for the gavel and sound block. We have looked up the Yellow Pages as well as checked with both the Singapore Academy of Law and Supreme Court. Both of them gave negative responses. Therefore, please consider acquiring the items from overseas.
Below is a list of a few overseas suppliers.
1) The Gavel Store
2) Global Gavels – Gavel Range
3) Gavels – Shop for gavels
Please note that the above mentioned suppliers are randomly selected from NLB's Internet search. They are not in any way better other suppliers not listed here.
