Interesting "kilt/hat" pin(?)

[azwildcat96]

Cajunscot is absolutely right! In fact it was previously listed last week with a starting bid of $15 US. I contacted the seller to inform him of its' real country of origin and proper name, and he responded with a thank you and a claim that he would correct the listing. I guess that never happened...

Normally the hair is the trophy hair from the wild goat that was harvested. This loooks to be coarser hair, and is probably from a wild boar.

I almost bid on it too, as these ususally sell for $50-100 depending on the age and the condition. It's a real bargain if you want to have one.

They're made from the lower neck of the chamois as well.

Yes...a wild goat-antelope species native to mountains in Europe...

Huh, from the photo, esp. once it was described as a kilt pin, I would have said it was one of those in the shape of an old-style curling broom.
