Kilt Pin Idea (Would Appreciate Input)
I have an idea for a "custom" kilt pin and I would like to solicit some advice from The Rabble.
I have attached the image of a Masonic "challenge coin" that I have. It is approximately 2" or so in diameter, despite being an odd shape. I am considering ordering a second one to make a kilt pin out of using the "tack style" pins. Due to the size, I was thinking about using three fasteners in a triangular pattern or maybe four fasteners in a square pattern to distribute the load. What do you think? Would this be too heavy?

How much does the one you have weigh?

It's certainly a more American concept than Scottish, so it's a wee mite incongruous on a kilt. Nonetheless, Scotland (where the brethren are a lot less forthright) isn't where you are, so dependent on the weight of the pendant... go for it.

My concept (at least in my head) was more Masonic than American per-se, but I get your point.

I don't know, but I would think that 8oz would be absolute tops. Ideally 4oz would be the target to aim for.

I'm not sure. I don't have access to a postal-type scale.

I think weight is the limiting factor.
I wore these two last year during the Olympics and Paralympics. Nothing to do with Scotland per se. I see nothing wrong with making a new kilt pin for every special occasion.

If I can manage to find a postal scale or something similar, do you have an idea of what a theoretical maximum gram weight should be for a pin?
