Almost sounds like a challenge?

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?

Stay tuned to this channel for further developments. I have an idea! Now I need to find time. I hope you have a big family it would be a shame to just make one.

Gents,

Keep in mind if Dave found this only in one place, it could be an original creation of the silversmith.

Think about how we would feel if someone was trying to blantantly copy Rab Gordon's knife handle designs? Or a T-Shirt from Rocky? Or Stillwater's Nightstalker sporran?

Just a quick reminder from your Kilted Conscience

Respectfully

Exactly my thoughts but Panache said it better than I would have.

I had a copy of an antique pin made, but I needed to change it, so I added a stone to it to make it different. I'm not selling it, (manufacturnig) and it cost more that the pin would have cost me if I had jumped on it when I first saw it.
