    Here's mine. Got it on Ebay it was called a Vintage Goldtone Celtic Brooch Or Pendant By Miracle. It is on my Modern MacFarlane Lochcarron kilt.

    So, I told my wife about the XMarks dandelion, since I just ordered one from Steve and she wanted to know what the deal is.

    Then I was showing her this thread, and she disappears into another room for a few minutes, and brings back this! (which is now mine for a kilt pin)


    This closeup shows how the flower is made up of loops of wire.


    Would you have guessed I am a forum member if you saw me wearing this on my kilt?

    great, are that acorns and oak leaves? Than this were something for me, because we have oak branches with acorns in our family coat of arms.

    Re: Show Us Your Kilt Pins.

    The Sheillah is my kilt pin of choice. It was used by the Irish Brigade, composed of the 28th Massachusetts, 63rd New York, 88th New York, and 116th Pennsylvania Units during the Civil War and by the Irish in the Mexican Batallón de San Patricio.

    There are some VERY cool pins in this thread.

    Unfortunately I only have one pin i use regularly... my collection of pins is about the same size as my collection of kilts: small. I've posted it a couple of times before, but here it is again. And yes, I am a gigantic nerd.
