I have about 4 that I keep on different kilts.
Mine's the same, a sterling silver blanket pin with a 1914 Inverness hallmark. BTW-- Either your pin, or the photo, is upside down. Worn the way shown, if the pin snapped open, it would slip out and fall to the ground.

I also have a grouse foot kilt pin, again with an Inverness hallmark but dated 1912, that I sometimes wear to formal dinners and the like.
