I'm not sure if I posted my axe pin but I know I never posted it after I repaired it.

I was carrying my heavy assortment of paintings and things in a case on a wheeled trolley down the front steps to walk to the Saturday market one time and at the bottom when I let the whole package onto the ground, it got caught on this kilt pin and it ripped off the back pin clasp part. I repaired it later using a thick metal wire and reforming the pin ... I like the look of the metal wire wrapped around holding the pin clasp onto the axe part.

I'm not sure whether I posted this one earlier or not.

They are nice aren't they. I was pipped at the post on one of those on ebay a while ago. I thought an auto-bid of 16 quid was probably enough to bag it but it transpired I was wrong.

They do turn up from time to time but you have to keep looking. Use "pewter dragon brooch" as your search string.

I suppose I'm late to the party, with this thread, but I thought I'd show a series of enameled autumn leaf pins I recently rounded up, to use (mainly) on my new "Leaf Peeper" tartan. Depending upon how windy it gets, I figure I can wear more than one at a time, mixing and matching appropriately to limit the apron blowing around.

USMC kilt pin on Leatherneck tartan.

Penguin kilt pin on Antarctic tartan

Custom made Hopi bear kilt pin on Isle of Skye tartan.

Custom Hopi thunderbird kilt pin on Prince of Wales tartan, now worn on my Royal Air Force tartan.

As Ham so wisely teaches - we need a kilt pin for every kilt to avoid poking and repoking holes in the fabric.

That settles it, I am now going to order my Army tartan kilt. lol Where can I get the kilt pins that are military specific though? I though about getting the kilt and then getting the staybright pin on rank and maybe my 2 combat ribbions as pins. Where is the best place to get the Army Tartan kilt that is still good quality but wont kill my bank account. I might be the king of my castle but I only rule until the queen gets home lol.
