    Siver Crest Badge

    I recently ordered a silver crety badge from Roddy Young in Inverness and it arrived yesterday. It is fabulous ! I will attempt to put a photo of it below.

    I have to thank Sketraw for the recommendation. The quality fo the workmanship is excellent and teh price was very competitive.

    Beautiful indeed; that 'un's a keeper!
    But, I'm curious: without the belt & buckle encirclement, doesn't it cross clan heraldic law?

    No, that & the single feather signify that he's an armiger, or one who bears his own coat-of-arms. See the following article on the Lyon Court's web site for more information:

    The "buckle & strap" signifies that the person wearing the badge is a member of a clan.

    Thanks for the clarification, Todd; I'd come across the heraldic term of armiger before, it's just not an achievement I often anticipate finding among new acquaintances!

    It looks Great Allan his work is really nice and as I said before, the pictures don't do them justice as they are so 3 dimensional & tactile.

    A badge to be proud of!

    I am curious about the single feather for armigers: If you decide to actually wear the feather, can you still wear this badge or what?
