Celtic Dove Kilt Pin
Now that my new kilt in the Dove tartan is on the way, I need an appropriate kilt pin to go with it (I like to have a different pin for each kilt). I really like the pin with a celtic dove design shown here:
However, the only place I have found it does it in sterling silver and the price is $225, a fair bit more than I would like to spend on a pin.
Has anyone seen anything similar elsewhere?

That's a beautiful pin. I don't have any real leads for you but I buy a lot of pins at fairs. I've also found interesting pieces at tag sales and "antique" stores. Often people don't realize they have a nice piece and sell it for a fraction of the value. Good luck with your search. Keep us posted on the results.

That's a nice pin.
How about this? Cut out a piece of metal in the shape and size that you want. File the edges smooth, trace the design on the metal - Then etch it like Kresent describes ..here.. Polish the metal to the desired level. Then epoxy some push pins or a safety pin on back. And finally, coat the whole thing generously with clear acrylic.

Perhaps contact Robin at Kiltgoodies about a custom in pewter.

Or make a mold for it and pour a few for yourself out of pewter. There's certainly a lot of help around here for pewter!

That is the first celtic dove I've seen. O'Neil is very handy with pewter.

Dave, nice pin. Is it not a Celtic wild goose rather than a dove?

I'm just going by what they called it on the site.

Almost sounds like a challenge?
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
