Kilt Pins - Ever See?

[ckelly327]

My family crest has the classic "climbing lions" with two lions climbing a castle tower. Has anyone ever seen a kilt pin which depicts the lions. I have kept my eye open for awhile but haven't seen what I'm looking for - lots of swords and crosses and dragons but so few lions.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure that they are out there.

Google "Rampant Lion" pin.

This is just one lion, but you might find more.

This one from The Cupid and the Swan is unusual and is chock full of lions.

Wow, that's beautiful. I love the fact that it has an Irish harp AND the rampant lions. Seeing as I've the Irish on my mothers side, and the Scottish on my father's this brooch would be perfect. But 195 is a little pricey for me right now

That looks like an old British coin with the background cut away; I've seen one many years ago but I don't recall which denomination it is. I've seen similar work done using other coinage.

Here's a more affordable one on eBay:

One of those lions might be Australian, he's oopside doon (bad P1M imitation)

This pin isn't a kilt pin due to the size, 2 1/2 inches across, but, when I saw this pin at a "Rendezvous", a mountain man camp out for a week, that is ALL primative, pre 1840, nothing modern allowed, STRICTLY enforced, I just had to have it! Solid brass. Pretty heavy for its size. I paid $30.00 for it at a blacksmith/brasssmiths tent. It is entirely hand made, as I watched him make it. Very smoth. Almost no hammer marks in it at all. He said that it was a tartan fly pin. However, the actual pin is very large in diameter, so, I am afraid to pierce my fly with it, for obvious reasons. So I just tuck the fly between the pin and the band and give it a little twist to secure it. It looks a little knotted up when I do that. Yet, I like the pin. Especially since I watched the 'smith make it by hand. I only wear it with my nondescript, living in the dirt, very primative kilt, made by the man I bought it from at a long past rendezvous, but has since passed on to the greater plain. You decide. What do you think? Wear the pin out, or not?
