    Or make a mold for it and pour a few for yourself out of pewter. There's certainly a lot of help around here for pewter!

    How about this? Cut out a piece of metal in the shape and size that you want. File the edges smooth, trace the design on the metal - Then etch it like Kresent describes ..here.. Polish the metal to the desired level. Then epoxy some push pins or a safety pin on back. And finally, coat the whole thing generously with clear acrylic.

    That is the first celtic dove I've seen. O'Neil is very handy with pewter.

    Dave, nice pin. Is it not a Celtic wild goose rather than a dove?
    Can't be a goose because it has a beak like a dove
    a goose has more of bill like a duck

    It wasn't meant to be a challenge. Just letting Dave know who does good pewter crafting in case he decides to have a kilt pin custom made.

    I already saved the pic before your post. The wheels were already turning. I was hoping somebody would pick up the gauntlet and make it official.

    Okay, I'll throw down the gauntlet. What can you do for me?
