Kilt pins from military awards.

I've been toying with the idea of mounting a set of dolphins on the flap of one sporran. I have a submarine service kilt pin that I got from Alexis Malcolm and I know she has them specially made up. You might email her and ask her source.

I plan on doing the same with one of mine...put my old eagle & crown cap-badge on the flap.

Thanks, i sent am e-mail to Alexis Malcolm. They were fast with reply, and appear very willing to try. "This is a good sign" All they need the awards. They want $35.00 per. This seems reasonable. Has anyone else done this from Alexis?

Richland,

I bought a USAF kilt pin from Alexis. It is good looking and well worth the money. The pin was made by mating a USAF emblem to a nice sword kilt pin (made of pewter in Scotland according to the packaging). Alexis told me her US military kilt pins are done by a jeweler in her area.

For anyone using something of sentimental value as a kilt pin, I would hasten to remind them that kilt pins have a habit of falling off. Take care to use an additional retention scheme (like the eraser on the pin trick) to make sure you don't lose a valued item.
