My antique from 1885 made in Birmingham England by Robinson Brothers:
and my eagle from one of the Puebloan tribes (the artist was rather coy about which pueblo). Bought it at Indian Market in Santa Fe a bunch of years ago):

Be well,
Oooooo, I so need one of those for my 6 year old. He is a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan and has a Jack Sparrow badge as a kilt pin right now.

Jamie, Howie's website says they do not sell the 21st. Century Kilt pin. They give them away when you buy one of their kilts. At the current exchange rate that's a pretty pricey pin.

I will have to see what I can do!
I knew my response would be of interest to some! Maybe I'll get a chance to meet Howie this time (he wasn't there when I was last year).

Dee,
Too bad they don't sell them separately , it's a handsome pin.
Mark,
If you do meet Howie you need to rush up to him and ask him "Howie How do you do, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wow is it true that you have met THE Hamish Bicknell? What is he like? Did you get his autograph?"
Cheers

This is probably the most intricate and peaceful kilt pin I've seen...and it is an antique, which makes it something to be proud of.

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!
