I have a sporran with a snap that, after putting a blue deer's tail on it, has become very hard to fasten and will sometimes unfasten itself. Not much of a real problem, it's just a little annoying.

But I found a small sword pendant of about 2.5 inches in length and got to thinking, how can I convert my sporran to a drop-pin style sporran with this sword?

I asked my family and they agree that it'd be a pretty cool thing to do. But I need to know what kind of hardware I'd need, where I could get them, and if I could get any tips from this board of wise, kilted men (aka=XMtS)?
