    Grouse Claw kiltpin



    I think they're pretty cool!...my wife thinks they're pretty disgusting

    These will look great on ancient, weathered and hunting tartans.

    Anyone has a grouse claw kiltpin?

    There also "less creepy" versions...


    A pewter grouse claw from (not 100% sure) the Wallace Collection.


    And lots of fuzzy furby type versions.

    The grouse claws were good luck charms for hunters, so I think they look best on weathered and hunting tartans.

    I like the "raw look" of the 1st image most :rolleyes:

    grouse claw...

    I must admit I rather like the grouse claw kilt pin, although I prefer the all-pewter one myself. They look like something a Highland ghillie would wear.

    Cheers,

    Todd

    Sweet. Man, I can't afford to stock up on kilts, but now I'm thinking a variety of kilt pins could be a lot of fun...

    I like the first one.

    One of the characteristics of grouse is feathers on the feet.

    I like the white feather without a jewel.

    I like those, but my wife won't allow one in the house. She says it's revolting.
    Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life take big bites. Moderation is for monks.

    I like the pewter one. Perhaps a pigeon claw would be best for those in New York.
    Armageddon was yesterday. Today we have real problem.
