    It shouldn't be much trouble, nor too much expense, to take the crest badge to a jeweler, and ask him to change the position of the pin to the half way point. With a few simple zaps of the soldering iron you
    should be good to go.

    Some times the simplest of ideas are the best, Ill have to find a jewler around here which doesnt want to charge me an arm and a leg

    Jordan. Try a crafty stitch around the top of the axe handle just below the circlet to bring the top into the cloth. It is often done here, I have a couple of stitches around my bonnet badge as insurance. My badge is silver and rather old, I would hate to loose it and after a couple of close shaves the stitches are there, just in case. Give it a try, I bet no one will notice.
