How to get signs legally?

[mcdonaat]

I've contacted the Mississippi DOT with much luck, they even referred me to the guy that they scrap the signs to, where people can purchase them. Other than Mississippi, what is the best way to get highway signs legally in other states? I'm more interested in La and MS (if someone out there has a shield or two they'd be willing to let loose for some cash), and Arkansas as well. Sucks to be in a tri-state area that is served by two different forum areas...

Private messages are fine too!

P.S. super interested in colored U.S. shields!

I don't know about buying a used one, but agentsteel53 here makes very nice historically accurate ones:
