[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9555211, member: 2844"]It says 5. kilt pin, 6. claw pin, so the claw pin is different from the kilt pin. The sgian dubh and other items in that advert are also not kilt pins, only #5, the safety pin type, is marked as such. I have always seen the claw pin on the lapel, not on the kilt. The sgian dubh is of course worn in the stocking, the buckle on the belt, the buttons on the jacket, etc. That one shows Scottish jewellery and ornaments in general, including plaid brooches and decorative brooches. Even the luckenbooth, which is Lowland jewellery, not Highland, so not kilt related. I don't know why you posted these adverts, no one is disputing the existence of the claw brooch.:confused: An American (so-called?) baron of Rathdown as an authority on Scottish kilt pins, versus an official Irish baron of Rathdown, and assorted Scottish jewellery etc as proof. This is all getting too confusing for my tired brain, I'm out.[/QUOTE]
