    Can someone recommend a maker of clan badges? I would like to purchase a quality badge.

    Not sure where in the World you are - but you could commission a local silversmith.

    In your neck of the woods a "close-by" place would be the Scottish Tartans Museum. See, for example,

    http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/crestbadge.html

    Also, USA Kilts sells them at

    http://www.usakilts.com/index.php/ki...ollection.html

    If you poke around the web a bit, you will find many other places, too. Good luck.

    Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!



    Sorry.... Just couldn't resist.

    You might gather a few more suggestions if you moved this to the Heraldry section. Just a suggestion...

    If that's what the OP wishes, I can do that... Just send a quick PM if so desired.

    Ian Grant of Edinburgh is your man if you really want top quality. I note your surname and I expect if you visit Ian's website you will probably find a bonnet badge illustrated that might interest you.

    If you are looking for something high quality, check out these hand cast sterling silver badges we offer.

    Of course we also have the less expensive, standard pewter ones.
