    Am I being mislead?

    I was at a flea market today and browsed some costume jewelry sellers, looking for a kilt pin.

    One man said, "Yes, I have one" and pulled out a round broach about the size of a silver dollar. It had one center stone and several 7-8 smaller polished stones - probably agate, but not rhinestones or faceted glass - around it.

    When I've seen pics of kilt pins, this is not what I've seen. Was he trying to get me to buy something by being... gasp... dishonest?

    I did see several pins that may or may not have been kilt pins at the flea market - several sword pins with faceted stones in them, and one knife that would slip very nicely next to a calf. I thought the Arabic scimitar was the wrong look, but it was the right size.
