    And do you have X Marks badges, in silver? i might think about getting one of THOSE!
    - on the subject of "allegiance to the clan chief": since most ( not all chiefs did this) of our Scottish ancestors were thrown off the clan land, to make way for sheep ( "the Highland clearances"), i personally, ( and I mean no offense to anyone, by this) wouldn't feel much "allegiance" to their descendants ( no personal grudge, either).

    If you do not wish to display allegiance to a chief because of something his ancestors did 200 years ago, that's up to you. Don't wear his crest badge.

    But that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. Please let's not take this off topic.

    Re: the X Marks badge, sure he could make one up. He's done badges for SAMS (the Scottish American Military Society) and other groups before.
