Kilt Pins - Ever See?

**ckelly327** · 25th June 06, 03:47 AM

My family crest has the classic "climbing lions" with two lions climbing a castle tower. Has anyone ever seen a kilt pin which depicts the lions. I have kept my eye open for awhile but haven't seen what I'm looking for - lots of swords and crosses and dragons but so few lions.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure that they are out there.

Google "Rampant Lion" pin.

This is just one lion, but you might find more.

This one from The Cupid and the Swan is unusual and is chock full of lions.

Wow, that's beautiful. I love the fact that it has an Irish harp AND the rampant lions. Seeing as I've the Irish on my mothers side, and the Scottish on my father's this brooch would be perfect. But 195 is a little pricey for me right now

That looks like an old British coin with the background cut away; I've seen one many years ago but I don't recall which denomination it is. I've seen similar work done using other coinage.

One of those lions might be Australian, he's oopside doon (bad P1M imitation)
