I think you visit Edinburgh once in a while.Try:-

Ian Grant,9 Rodney St.,Edinburgh,EH7 4 EN. Tel no.01315570696

Or try google "Heraldic cap badges hand engraved in Scotland"

He has done some wonderful work for me------a real craftsman.

I think Ian has recently retired, at least that 's the word I get from Leith. I'll check out the other craftsmen and let you know how I get on.

Thanks again,

Hello Scott,you may well be right, but Ian completed a cap badge for me last September(2007) and gave me every indication that he was going to be around for the foreseeble future.All the best with your search.

MacMillan of Rathdown,

Robin (a member of this forum from the Netherlands) currently has a few vintage sterling silver cap badges (and kilt pins) listed on his Kilt Goodies website. He may have something that will interest you.

Matt beat me to it, but I can also recommend his work. His damascus blade sgian dubhs are on my list for when I become rich and famous.
