    My new kilt pin

    I stole this for $20. I really like that's it's different from many kilt pins I have found.


    So what do you think?

    I think you need to polish the rust/tarnish out of the back of it, then pin it on and go show it off!
    Is that turquoise and garnet? It's a pretty combination.

    Looks good. I like the battle axe much better then the sword pins that are so common in the kilt hire business.

    Yeah I'm going to clean it up. The seller said it's bloodstone on the blade and red agate on the handle.

    I am waiting for my new kilt hose to arrive and I'm going to be doing reviews on some of my new swag.

    Doesn't look like bloodstone to me.



    It looks more like Abelone.




    But regardless, it is a very handsome piece and at $20 is a real trasure.
