My antique from 1885 made in Birmingham England by Robinson Brothers:
and my eagle from one of the Puebloan tribes (the artist was rather coy about which pueblo). Bought it at Indian Market in Santa Fe a bunch of years ago):

This is probably the most intricate and peaceful kilt pin I've seen...and it is an antique, which makes it something to be proud of.

My favourite is a silver Kwakiutl sun by a local Nimpkish artist.

At the moment, I only have one kilt pin -- the Clan MacDougall pin that I've had since I was a teenager, over twenty years ago. It's the dead standard one, with the mailed fist and "Buidah no Bas" -- Conquer or Die.
I've been thinking about wearing my Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS), Enlisted Air Warfare Specialist (EAWS), or Naval Aircrew badges on my Navy tartan kilt, but haven't actually done so, yet.

I know I'm being pedantic, but the mascot of House Ravenclaw is the Eagle. I, by the bye, am the moderator of the Ravenclaw community on LiveJournal.

Which usually means "it's something I thought up that looks semi-traditional, but I don't want to tell this white boy that, or he won't want to buy it." It's a beautiful pin, and I wish it were something traditional, as I'd want to buy one.
