My 2nd Thistle brooch has arrived!

Material: Pewter, with a semi-soft brushed finish. Decently stout pin.

Weight: Not as heavy as, say, a badge from the Tartan Museum. But adequately constructed for use as a balmoral badge, kilt brooch, or a kilt pin.

Detail: Very nicely/sharply detailed... slight "antiquing" effect is present. Photo does not do justice to the detail.

Overall: I'm pleased with the overall look. Since it is not a heavyweight, it is less likely to sag.
