    Moin Hermann,



    I'm sure I saw that as a belt buckle once too. Quite well done. That would do me fine as a clan motto. Was never too sure exactly what Hoc Majorum Virtus ("This is the valour of my ancestors") is really supposed to mean...

    Cheers
    M.

    Seems to me, I saw someone on ebay a few months ago (maybe them?) that had 100 of them available. They didn't get many takers.

    I'd like to get one. And though I haven't sat down and worked through it, I'm pretty sure "Don't let the bastards grind you down" isn't a literal translation like they claim, but that's okay. I'll sit down and find out sometime.

    I just ordered one. I think it will do fine on my casual kilts; I've been looking for something to use on my camouflage UK. I recall this motto as something of a catch phrase in my Navy days.

    I think it's supposed to be " Non Illigitimi Carborundum Est"
