    Who Makes Custom Clan Cap Badges?

    Is there anybody who makes custom clan cap badges? I'm looking for some help with design and, at least initially, a small production run. Thanks!

    Penny's of Thunder Bay makes that type of stuff. Their prices are reasonable, they used to be better but the exchange rate right now sucks.

    Michael McRae of Scotia Metalwork does:
    http://www.scotiametalwork.com/

    I've seen his sterling silver work and it is beautiful.

    Ted Sheldon does custom badges in pewter. I don't think he has a web site, but he is in TN and attends a lot of the Highland Games in the region.

    Aye,
    Matt

    I have one of McRae's heavy, lion rampany rings from about 10 years ago, and I can tell you it's a great piece and original. His work is excellent.

    You might also check with CavScout since I believe he's designed some pieces and knows a good source for custom jewelry. His Fraser pin is an example.

    We have a sponsor right here on X Marks that will be willing to talk to you.

    Click on the Nagle Forge logo. Sarah is a great person to work with. They have a small family business just north of San Fransico.

    I have been carrying their products in my shop for two years now and can attest to their quality. I am talking to them right now about producing the X Marks Cap Badge in Brittania metal. And they may be able to help us fix the problems with the X Marks Kilt Pin.
