great, are that acorns and oak leaves? Than this were something for me, because we have oak branches with acorns in our family coat of arms.

Re: Show Us Your Kilt Pins.
The Sheillah is my kilt pin of choice. It was used by the Irish Brigade, composed of the 28th Massachusetts, 63rd New York, 88th New York, and 116th Pennsylvania Units during the Civil War and by the Irish in the Mexican Batallón de San Patricio.

Re: Show Us Your Kilt Pins.
My kilt pins tend to be either the ubiquitous sword/clan pins or horse blanket pins, though I've recently received this Victorian beauty from my wife, and an antler pin from Tayrgrd which I'll post later.

Thank you John. I've been searching for quite some time, until i found something, that was
a) different
b) simple in shape
First I had set my eye on amber, but what I found was too "baroque" for me.
