I Did It
I finished my first kilt pin and it cost me about $20 .00
ingrediants:
Spencer gifts in the mall, Sword pin $8.00
Master Wings from PX $8.00
Pin back from local craft store .75 cents
good strong Epoxy $3.00
I ground the face of the sword to support the wings better cut off the clutch pins off the wings and epoxy'd the whole shooting match together.
It looks great [IMG] [/IMG]

That looks great. If the epoxy doesn't hold you can have a jeweler solder it together.

Teufulhunden kilt pin
Gents:
When I picked up corporal in the USMC, my father sent me an old pair of his corporal's chevrons---the metal pin worn on the collar with cammies (or a Charlie shirt under a wooly pully). They were no longer regulation---these were wider and had a shallower angle. The NCOIC of the Marine detachment agreed that, on promotion, I would pin on my father's chevrons. Further, the detachment OIC made clear that, so long as I was under his command, I could wear the non-reg chevrons on my collar.
Those chevrons ride as the kilt pin on my desert MARPAT PK.
Even though I served before adoption of the desert MARPAT----that's MY CLAN COLORS right there. The chevron worn as a kilt pin is non-regulation, it is in the rank I held, and it was worn during active duty by both my father and myself.
And it looks damn sharp, too.

Your kilt pin looks great!
I have a minitue C.I.B. that I use for a tie tac
I'm going to have to give it a try making it into a Kilt pin
What type of epoxy did you use?
I've had good luck with PV-7
I'm an 18th century guy born into the 20th century and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
