    Clan crested items from Celtic Studio

    These guys will custom make darn near anything with a clan crest on it out of pewter, silver, or gold. I haven't ordered from them yet, but I thought I'd post the link because they have a lot of rarer crests that you don't find everywhere else. My last name is Learmonth, which is an Armigerous family as opposed to a clan. As such the Learmonth crest isn't available from most suppliers. These guys have it. I'm sure that there are others in the same boat.

    PS - I especially like their use of An Ceann Cirean Cinnidh on all their printed items.
    PPS - I don't work for Celtic Studio, I haven't even bought anything from them yet.

    This seller is located just minutes from where I live. I have a MacGregor clan badge from them and ordered a s/s flask with the same crest. Their prices are very reasonable and the quality is superb.

    It looked like a worthwhile place to do business...until I came across their lists of "family" coats of arms that they can provide, which are, of course, all bogus. Coats of arms are granted to one individual only. Suddenly their credibility went down the tubes.

    I understand the strong feelings (and British laws) concerning such things. BUT, I wouldn't let that get in the way of what appears to be fine items in the rest of their offerings.

    Never mind the feelings, or credibility. A good chunk of the British economy is based on selling these items to any commoner that will buy them. The law is only there to stop somebody from trying to claim the rights they don't have.

    Just put the thing on the wall and say, "That's not mine, it belongs to somebody with a name like mine, and I like it so there it stays." Or not.

    Somehow I seriously doubt that the "bucket shops" are propping up the British economy, though.

    And in this case, we are really dealing with Canadian law, since there is a Canadian Heraldic Authority:
