Restoring Grouse Claw Kilt pin

[MacCathmhaoil]

I would agree with Jock and the others, have you thought of a silver or metal one? I picked this up a while back.

Thanks guys,

Here it is: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Victorian...item485542cc29

"Estimated to date from 1890s" according to the seller (take that for what it's worth), but someone here might like it. I think I'll sit this one out, but I'll keep an eye out for a good vintage one. I like the look for wearing with a hunting kilt, and wearing "dead things" doesn't bother me.

I quite like the silver version too, MacCathmhaoil, although that would probably be better suited to evening wear.

Regards,

Cameron

That one is interesting.

That one is interesting.

Thanks! I picked it up a while back, fear I overpaid a bit for it but it was interesting and not common. It's silver plate and some one had soldered on a safety pin to replace the broken pin, a friend who's a jeweller is replacing the pin for me.

Here is another, slightly different style at a reasonable price.
