?Mac,
You are a very thorough and considerate fellow. Thank you for taking time to provide such detailed and relevant information. I will follow the links you have provided and will get back to you. You mentioned I should try to coordinate the metals...I agree, though I may not have much choice if I want to use my own sporran, dirk and sgian dubh. The cantle and tassle cones on my sporran are actually silver (antique sporran) and the two knives have brass/carnelian ends. I was hoping to keep most of my other jewellery and accessories in coordination with the look of polished silver. Anyway, I'll take a gander at what you've sent and get back to you shortly. I am excited at the thought of the kilt. This will be my first. Cheers!?
