Thanks for all the suggestions. I feel better now. I'm glad to hear I wasn't too far off for a kilt pin other than a sword.

Something plain and solid in silver, pewter or possibly a yellow metal of some kind. No rhinestones for this buckaroo - thankyou very much.

I'm not much into flash and glitter. The only jewlery I wear is my wedding band. I like the way it stands out to be noticed. Kilt pins are the only other consideration. I already have my eye on a frog but will also keep the other eye out for a fleur-de-lis.

Cheers! Bill
