Another shot at a kilt pin.

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I don't know if it is thier own design or not, but I purchased one similar to it from Ted Sheldon a few years ago at a local Scottish festival. Ted Sheldon is a pewtersmith that used to travel to different games. Matt used to sell some of his kilt pins through the museum.

Yes, it is Bold Blade's own design -- they got Ted Sheldon to make them. But I don't think they have any exclusive deal with Ted. Anyone who sells Ted's jewelery (such as our museum gift shop) can order them right out of his catalog.

The owner of Bold Blades (who is a friend of ours) is also a member of clan Gunn, and I think came up with the idea of a "Gun" kilt pin (har-har), primarily to sell to the clan society.
