Marines Can't Count
Okay, so James McMillan can't be trusted, ya hear? He's sneaky and goes against his word. Here's the story. He announced awhile back that he got some antler tips that he was planning on making some kiltpins out of. Well, I've been looking at buying one of these for awhile (as I only had one kiltpin), so I contacted Jay to see if he'd be willing to sell me one.
We PM back and forth a bit and come around to a trade. I happen to have some leftover material to make a kilt out of, and we agree that he'll make three (3) pins to trade against a kilt made for him. Deal.
Well, the other day a small package shows up, and instead of 3 pins, there are 5!! And, he threw in some homemade red flashes! This just blew me out of the water, so I had to share. Jay can't be trusted to stick to the original deal, and he can't count, but he sure is generous!

If you think the deal is not honest toward you, you can send back.

Looks very nice, but did he actually make them into pins? I'd like to see how the pin part looks on them.

Yes, they've each got two tack pins on the back.

I can think of a few of our Royal Marines who are just like that.

Wow. Excellent guys. (Now I'm jealous)

If it helps you any, I'll take one or two off your hands.

That was very generous of him. How do you like the traditional garter ties compared to the elastic ones?
Cheers
