Cap badges with Tams, or Balmorals without ribbons?

[BoldHighlander]

It seems like it has come up a few times recently on the forum that people are looking for a lighter, thinner badge than the clunky pewter ones generally available.

I'll just point out that there is another option, if you don't mind paying a bit more for quality.

Our hand cast sterling silver badges are much thinner and lighter than the typical pewter badge.

I just weighed one on a postal scale and it was .6 oz.

I can't afford one just yet, but this option appeals to me. I do have one question Matt. I'm having some difficulty locating the newly designed badge for the Macdonalds of Keppoch (see design below), does your silversmith have this design?

No problem. If he doesn't already have it I can show him this picture and that's more than good enough for him to work from.
