    My Tyger Forge Triskelion kilt pin

    when I came home from work yesterday evening, the envelope from Mark was finally in my mail box. Must have been quite an odyssey in the last 2 1/2 weeks.

    As a former ceramic engineer I had to have one of Mark's clay pins. I decided on the bronze Triskelion pin having my Eichelberger tartan in mind. I thought it would be a fitting colour. It seems I didn't go wrong, if I may say so.

    The pin is made with real craftsmanship, Mark is a great guy to make business with. I was always well informed and Mark was weeks ahead of the announced date.

    Now to the pictures

    Looks good and I learnt something new - that a Triskelion is not just a three legged symbol!

    That must be the pin I was admiring in your office-picture thread. Thanks for the close up - beautiful!
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Yes, it is. Mark's pins deserve to be photographed close-up.
