Interesting Kilt/sporran "Badges"

[puffer]

I just found this site http://www.britishbadge.co.uk/index.php

As you know, I often "decorate my sporrans with "Military" badges. (they could also be used on kilts ( IMHO ) They have a large selection of Scottish ( Highland, Lowland, Borderers ) Welsh, & Irish.

Here are the ones I WANT !!!




There is one PROBLEM They currently, DO NOT ship to the US.

Any IDEAS ??

Not unless you want to cut two "lug holes" in your apron. Most British military badges use either lugs or a "slider" (which also requires a hole) to fasten to the cap/hat/etc.

You are correct, IF you want to retain the "original" mode of fastner. BUT, if not, then there is an EASY remidy.

1. Go to your craft store & look in the Jewelry section. ( Broaches & pin fastners ) Pick out what you want. go home, remove the existing fastner method & solder or braze your selection on. (note they do make a "liquid solder", it usually works, but sometimes it does not.

2. I have also used a LARGE safety pin & a safety pin type "kilt pin. ( you just need more solder )

Horses for courses...being a collector of militaria, I hate to modify items from their original state.
