Kilt pins from military awards.

[Richland]

I'm thinking if having a kilt pin made from my Master parachutist wings or my pathfinder torch. I will use the miniatures.
any regs. i should worry about? Has anyone tried it, and liked it, or dislikes it.
Does any one know of a good maker of pins i could send them off to and be made.

I don't know if this guy does custom work but he has done some nice items for the Marine Corps.

Though not a kilt pin, I will admit I took my Saudi Liberation of Kuwait Medal and put it on the sheath of my sgean dhub. In this country, we cannot wear a foreign medal if there is a corresponding Canadian decoration (Brits are the same). A little pretentious, maybe, but its hidden by hose anyway...and I had to do something with it.

I've been toying with the idea of mounting a set of dolphins on the flap of one sporran. I have a submarine service kilt pin that I got from Alexis Malcolm and I know she has them specially made up. You might email her and ask her source.

I plan on doing the same with one of mine...put my old eagle & crown cap-badge on the flap.

Thanks, i sent am e-mail to Alexis Malcolm. They were fast with reply, and appear very willing to try. "This is a good sign" All they need the awards. They want $35.00 per. This seems reasonable. Has anyone else done this from Alexis?
courious about style, and quality...

Richland,

I bought a USAF kilt pin from Alexis. It is good looking and well worth the money. The pin was made by mating a USAF emblem to a nice sword kilt pin (made of pewter in Scotland according to the packaging). Alexis told me her US military kilt pins are done by a jeweler in her area.

For anyone using something of sentimental value as a kilt pin, I would hasten to remind them that kilt pins have a habit of falling off. Take care to use an additional retention scheme (like the eraser on the pin trick) to make sure you don't lose a valued item.
