Smith and Warren will make anything you want in a collar bar. Had them make up my great great grandfathers' units in the Civil War to wear on my Federal Memorial tartan kilt. Norman Blake was with the 136th Ohio defending Washington D.C. against Early's raid. Edmund Blake was with the 156th Illinois in the long Tennessee campaign.

Personalizes the kilt for me. Lighting is dark trying to cut down the glare from the shiny gold insignia

As a long-time Civil War buff, I think this is fantastic.

Superb... What a great idea.

Interesting idea. I see they have three available letter heights: 3/8", 1/2", and 9/16". What height did you go with? This is the catalog page for anyone interested: http://www.smithwarren.com/catalogs/...5A/page65.html

Looks like we have a dealer here in Dayton that can obtain their products which I assume includes special orders.

Think I went big - 9/16th...just a hair over the 1/2". Very pleased with the quality. Not a long wait - maybe three weeks. Not a bad wait for custom work. Top quality. They also offer different metal colors.

First order with them was a simple "19" to honor the Granite Mountain Hot Shots on my Firefighter Memorial tartan kilt.

Wonderful! Good job!

Great idea! Last year, I came across an old Cameron's of Canada balmoral badge I acquired as a kid. It dates back to the Canadian regiment prior to 1920.

My wife took the badge to a jewelry store in Winnipeg and had it made into a kilt pin. With a little bit of imagination, much can be done!
