<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 435957, member: 5833"]Those overlong pin stems would have let you bury the end back into the fabric as a safety measure; better ones had guard chains as well. The simple adaptation on this one keeps it more firmly closed, so less need for extra length on the pin. And have seen it too; sometimes those long pins found their way onto later pieces as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
