Stolen valor or harmless tribute?
Pardon of this isn't the right place for this inquiry. I had the idea of using old British cap badges ( with light modifications) as kilt pins. The badges in question are from long defunct/ consolidated regiments, and no one who would recognize the insignia could think that I was representing myself as a former soldier of the regiment ( I'm about two generations too young for that).
My hope was to reflect some of my father's side ( the regiments were territorial to his home county). While there is a county tartan for his area, it's not in common production and, quite frankly, isn't a great tartan anyway.
So, British military insignia which I didn't earn on non- military kilts, or a nice tribute to the half of my family who never wore kilts ? Your opinions appreciated.
