Kilt Pin Repair
I came home from work one evening last week to find my kilt pin, and its actual pin, separately lying on the bathroom counter. When I left that morning, it was firmly attached to my kilt in the closet. My wife claims that she "merely brushed it" and it fell apart.
This is the typical pewter (?) clan badge pin that you pick up at the highland games or from any number of online vendors. My first question is, how was the pin attached to the back? Soldered? Adhesive?
If I were to find a local person to fix it, who am I looking for? A jeweler? I am afraid that it'd cost more to pay someone to fix it that to replace it with a new one, though, but I hate to be wasteful, and I've had it many years waiting to get a kilt, so am a bit attached to it.
Do you think I can glue it back adequately with cyanoacrylate? The break is very clean.
