Hi
Here is a picture of MY badge - to the same design as originally shown! This belonged to my father & grandfather before him.... and IMO it's definitely MacQueen. My family name is Swan which is clan MacQueen.
Nice to find a match!

From the highlands of southern Oregon, also known as part of the mythical state Jefferson.

How much of your lineage have you researched? I've been able to follow a paper trail back to 1821, near Gargunnock in Sterling, before things start to get murky.

Are those vintage badges? I've been looking for a vintage Chattan or Macpherson badge for the longest time, but to no avail...yet. They look great.

Cheers,

I would love to find a source for the MacQueen pins. I spent time in Scotland this summer but was told that they are not produced.

Swanny,

That's a good-looking pin - and it's great to have a fellow Swan on the forum! Welcome!

Well, as he indicated, Swanny's was passed down to him. Whereas, I found mine almost 30 years ago, in the shadows of Edinburgh castle. And I was hitting every kilt shop (and even some of the tat shops) that I could find, and found mine after several days of searching.
