Looking for a Kilt Pin Idea for my New RAF Tartan Kilt

[Riverkilt]

Thanks Jason,

Considered that. Dad was a Flying Sergeant in the RAF and the stripes are available. Just three chevrons with the V down...on a kilt they look out of context.

He completed the war as a Captain in the Army Air Corps but Captain's bars seem both too small and out of place on the RAF tartan.

Still mulling. Have one more X Marks kilt pin I can use until I work it out.

Ron, are any metal chevrons available?

I've been known to wear my old, old corporal's chevrons (metal insignia) on the PK Marpat. They were my Dad's, when he was in the Corps, and they're the chevrons that were pinned on me when I picked up corporal as well. (Talk about a dusty room for me that day.)

Good idea Kid, thanks, but not sure they'd be large enough.

I did just find and order this World War II Victory medal with wreath at Soldier City. Its the same size as the X Marks pin, just under two inches in diameter. Should show well against the light blue of the tartan. So gonna start with it. Its a U.S. award, but makes the point, and dad sure earned one at Dieppe and Kasserine Pass.
