Show Us Your Kilt Pins.

[Downunder Kilt]

I have several kilt pins, as can be seen from below, I tend to wear the Australian Rising Sun cap badge most of the time in memory of my father and uncles. I have my fathers WWII badge and that of my uncles. Sometimes I wear two kilt pins, hence the slimmer ones which I wear at the bottom of the kilt and the broader ones mid thigh

I've also picked up a few kilt pins on eBay. Originally, I was just being budget conscious (must cost less than $5) but I've come to appreciate the pre-loved uniqueness.

Silver plated maple leaf, which now resides on my MacQuarrie modern 13oz:


Brass shamrock penannular, seen on my New World Irish arcylic:


Thistle safety pin inherited from father's days as piper, shown here on my buddy's vintage Grant tank. My buddy now has a plain safety pin and this pin is safely back on my Douglas modern 16oz:

Here is one that is out of the ordinary. I made it by attaching a boar's tusk to a blanket pin. It is a little heavy, so I put a swatch of material beind the apron and pin it on.

First one is a standard thistle sword you can get anywhere. Picked up the middle one while visiting with Sydnie7 in SOCAL (two more different pins coming later) of the National defense ribbons. The one at the end is a new acquisition from Alexis Malcolm.



There is a twisted thistle pin that is on one of the kilts somewhere but here is a pick from their catalog -

Just put this one together from my junk box. It gets held on with a neodymium magnet.

Just put this one together from my junk box. It gets held on with a neodymium magnet.

So now lets see how many know what that symbol is from.

If I say ARRL, would that indicate that I am a Amateur Nerd?
