I replaced the thistle on my sporran with a stag. Laminated a new peice of garment leather over the old, fastened the badge with a lock nut after dipping the thread in glue, cut off the stud flush, fastened it all together with tiny nuts and bolts, threads dipped in glue, cut off flush, ground smooth, and a blob of glue on top; won't snag like the cheap pins it was originally assembled with.



If anyone needs a thistle badge, it's in the "For Sale" section.
