    You beat me to making the same reply Dee. TFCK's pewter lightening-bolt kilt pin is given with every kilt supplied by Howie - they cannot be bought separately. Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd kilts do not qualify, only TFCK ones.

    However, Howie does sell a silver-plated version of his lightening-bolt pin at £25.00. I have one, but it was a Birthday gift from Howie a few years ago!

    Okay...finally got around to it.

    Most of my kilt pins are the standard clan issue.

    I took Ham's advice and have one on every tartan kilt. Thirty total.

    Somewhere I also have one with the traditional sword but the shield is the Latin for "Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down." That's kinda my motto at work.



    This isn't made for a kilt pin, but I wear it as one on my Prince of Wales tartan.



    I took some green Testors Enamel paint and added it to the shamrock so it'd stand out more. Works so far. Wear it on my saffron kilt.




    My red head commissioned two kilt pins from a Hopi artist she knows. This is a bear with a bear claw. She thought it was indicative of my massive girth. I wear it on my Isle of Skye kilt.




    Like Macman's Nimpkish pin, this was also commissioned by a Hopi artist by my lady. She had it made for me to wear on my RAF tartan kilt, and I do.



    I found this USMC kilt pin on sale at a Highland games and snapped it up. Wear it on my Leatherneck tartan kilt in honor of my late brother's service.



    Wear this U.S. Army kilt pin on my U.S. Army tartan kilt in honor of my late father's service in the Army Air Corps and my late uncle's service in the Infantry in War II.
