    Anybody know where I can find this in US?

    Well there was a thread someone posted wondering weather or not to go out kilted on St. Patrick's Day. In the end I decided that I will, seeming how my beautiful Gordon kilt just arrived....Anyway. So I thought that to help remove confusion as to my heritage I would order myself a St. Andrew's Cross belt buckle! The one I'm looking for is blue and white enamel, and is ~$30. I'm having no problem finding it in the UK, but it might not get here in time if shipped from overseas. Does anyone know where I might find this in the US?

    I suspect few people in the US know the Saltire is a Scottish symbol.

    You might be right. But more importantly, they will recognize that it isn't IRISH!

    It took me a while to find the one I was looking for again...

    This is the style of buckle I'm looking for.

    Yeah I've seen a bunch of the $60 ones. I'm not looking for one more than $40, as I'm just getting it for this one occasion and likely won't even wear it more than that. Theres a couple of 'em on ebay, but they're coming from overseas and the ship time is listed as 7-14 days. That's cutting it a bit close
