Sten Rune and I received this pewter brooch from the guy who makes our other pewter designs.

It's 6 cm's across and 5.5cms in height . it's too large for a lid ornament .We were wondering would it have any interest as a kilt pin ? It's certainly large enough.

That's some very nice work. Does your metalsmith have a web site?

The one shown here I believe is a new model which he has sent to us for our feedback We'd like to sell it as a kilt pin.

Nice broach David, looks like it has viking influences what with the head design and the dots around the body.
As a kilt pin it certainly would be a different design, and yes I like it.

Your're right it is of Norse origin

That is really nice looking! Bold, but simple.

Very nice David!

So what would the cost for it be as a kilt pin?

I know it's of Norse origin, but It reminds me a wee bit of the Loch Ness Monster -- I think it would make a unique kilt pin that would get quite a few comments...

Cheers,

As this is a prototype we haven't really looked at price yet. I wouldn't be too expensive around 25 to 35 US I'm not too sure. It's a solid piece not something that will bend just by looking at it ..If you get my drift :-)

David,

Let me know when you decide on a price. I like it and think it would make a great kilt pin. Since I only have one so far (which might bend easily, as I know it is cheap, but nobody else does!), this would double my collection!

And since I am really interested in one of your sporrans, I might just have to get both and save on shipping!
