Another shot at a kilt pin.

**MacRob** · 30th January 10, 05:34 PM

The kilt pin is made by Ted Sheldon. I am the owner of Bold Blades and I asked him to do so. We supplied illustrations and our friend Ted finalized the design, which we approved. Before that he did not provide a pin of this type. So, I think it is safe to say that the pin is our design, although we do not say that on our web site or in our catalog.

Our sporrans are a good value for the price. We try to provide quality merchandise for someone starting out in "being Scottish". We are aware that as time goes by upgrading of gear is standard but if we help someone put together their outfit at a reasonable cost to themselves, not easy to do these days, then we feel like we have done our job.

While we do not want to be sticklers about this, all the information and photos on our site are copyrighted so, if you want to use them, please be sure to provide specific attribution. And, thanks for the plug.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I just found out that your moderator teaches High School with my daughter-in-law! Small world.

I will look in as often as I can and try to provide input. My primary interest is in history and especially as it pertains to weaponry - naturally. I have had four article published in The Highlander on those subjects and have two more in preparation.

Thank you again for the kind words. I wish I had known about this forum before today.

I think you 'll find there are more than a few members on the forum with those same interests.

Hello folks!
I am in need of some assistance if you could. I have inherited 3 pins which I remember my family wearing when I was just a little girl. The pins are claws with long nails, one has a purple stone in it and the others have yellow stones. There are deer or elk heards in silver at the base with antlers surrounding the stones.
I am trying to find out what clan these might go to and if there is a value to them. My family wore a Black Watch tartan but was told I may be part of the Buchanan clan?
Any and all help would be appreciated. My family are all gone and I have no one left to ask.
