Well it is "the glorious twelfth" today, the start of our grouse shooting season and for the first time for over 40 years I will not be there. Dammit! Anyway for what it is worth, I was always told that the grouse claw pin was worn by women, either as a pin on their skirt or,more usually, on the lapel of their jackets. Of course we are talking of the days when tweed jackets were worn as a matter of course, by women.
