Alternate Kilt Pin / Brooch Placement

**1MUNK3** · 23rd February 09, 10:27 AM

This has been a very interesting thread. I've loved all the photos that have been shared. Miracle does make some great brooches and kilt pins. I've aquired some throughout my travels. I've got some dirk style kilt pins and thistle, and agate brooches from the 50's and 60's. I wish I could post some pics, but I keep hitting a wall for some reason. I hope to remedy that soon. I hope you like what you get , Hamish.

Do any of the US based forum sponsors carry real silver blanket pins?

Thanks to Hamish--and the rest of the guys here, specifically Robert and Glen--I have learned some very new and interesting things. I never heard of Miracle brooches (or otheir other stuff) either.

Looks like I have a new item or two to pursue.

Thanks, fellows.

Thanks. I'll see if this does it. I thought I tried everything. Including the directions on site. I was able to post a profile pic but nothing else. Thanks again.

Ok, Jock, and welcome back.

**Bugbear** · 24th February 09, 02:57 PM

Thanks, Jock. I will leave my blanket pin down in the corner with the clasp end pointing downward then, and not worry about it.

I... don't have any problem with anyone serving in the Royal Navy either.

Unfortunatly, I had not switched to the blanket pin before I had the last pictures taken, and those were the good pictures. At some point I will have to try to arange for pictures with the outfit with the blanket pin. I also need to replace the tartan flashes with solid color garter ties, but the tartan are all I have right now.

So, I don't have a picture to show and check that the blanket pin is where it should be.

Well, I have successfully bid for, and won, a Miracle brooch from Ebay! Yes, one of the pieces I bid for has come my way, BUT ......... although it was advertised as being a 'Miracle' brooch, the name 'Miracle' does not appear on it at all. I believed that the name does appear on the reverse of all 'Miracle' items so, without it, could I have a dud on my hands?

Robert, or one of the other experts: could you put my mind at rest over this please? Here it is:

Take care,
Ham.
