    Need help with a kilt pin

    OK, we've already discussed how I should pleat my new Army Tartan kilt. Now I need help with a pin.

    I really want to wear one of my old unit crests as a kilt pin. Unfortunately, I can't seem ti find mine (they are in a box somewhere). I also can't seen to find anyone online selling unit crests (not even US Cav and I know they sell them in their store).

    So I am looking for a 9th Cav crest, any ideas where I can get one? I'm also thinking I could use some crossed sabers for my nightstalker sporran.

    And yes it is heavy enough (I know a lot of crests are very light, the 9th Cav weighs a ton).

    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    It looks like the second one might work (thanks = the first is only a small pin not a uniform crest), but that's either a really bad pic (which I hope) or it is not a real uniform crest.

    I'll probably give it a shot.

    Thanks

    If you call the Cav Store they should be able to help you out.

    Toujours Pret - Cav's OK!

    Adam, would the old unit stores have any left? There's always a chance they have boxes of them lying about even if they're not in use any more.

    Try these folks:

    And, the Buffalo Soldier museum has a nice badge with the crossed sabers and the number 9 above it in their online store:
