    Canadian motif kilt pin

    Has any of you ever come across a kilt pin with a uniquely Canadian motif, such as a maple leaf, Provincial badge, beaver, or any other symbol that is recognized as a Canadian icon?

    I have been scanning ebay, but have not found anything. Any chance of a link to the vendor. My horse blanket pin on my Maple Leaf just does not do it any more.

    Freedom Kilts has some beautiful silver pins from First Nations makers, enscribed with their distinctive designs. Not as at-a-glance Canadian as a maple leaf but really striking. Hard to get a good picture!

    They may not be on the website but I'm sure Steve would send photos of the others available. This one's a gift for Bob -- shhhhh!
