New bonnet badge
My new Sterling bonnet badge arrived yesterday from Celtic Studio. The badge was smithed in Maple Ridge, British Columbia and I'm very happy with it. The price was very reasonable all things considered and I sold a few items to finance it.
Here it is:

Here is the standard issue pewter:

Nathan, that is a very nice looking bonnet badge you got there. I like the craftsmanship.
I wonder about the your standard issue badge, did they miss out an "E" THE instead of THEE ?

It's one of the things that bother me about the standard issue badge actually. On some, the E is there, albeit obscured by the torse, but on this particular one, the detail isn't that good, there's just a blob of pewter behind the torse.
The whole motto is visible and lovely in the new badge. I also like the way they've portrayed the heraldic elements. Fresh looking but consistent.

Interesting.
My family is extremely small and so nobody produces clan badges for it. Not that I often wear a bonnet, I don't, but it would be nice to have a badge to go on it.
