    Glen,

    The perfect kilt pin...a simple 4" blanket pin made of hallmarked sterling silver - a bit like what the officers of the Gordon Highlanders used to wear. Or, if you are an armiger (not sure if you are), your crest (only the crest portion, not a badge, circlet, etc) made of hallmarked silver and created to your own size specifications. There you have it! Haha! Of course, these are a couple of my own preferences.

    Cheers,

    No I am not an armiger, though I do like he idea of the blanket pin especially in silver. For now I will keep the simple modern thistle pin I have on it now until I find something more suitable. This kilt was commissioned after my Uncle passed away, he was in the Royal Navy during WWII. Therefore I was hoping to get a pin that both goes well on the kilt and says something about my late Uncle.
