The Agate Arrow Sterling Silver Kilt Pin is a beautiful, Victorian-era sterling silver and banded agate pin in a size we’ve never before seen. The pin bears no hallmarks, which is not unusual for family or locally-made pins of the era. The pin measures a massive 4.5 inches across. A classic pin for an archery enthusiast or for the perfect authentic Scottish kit.
While the longbow first appeared in Europe in the 1200s, they came prominence in the Highlands in the 16th and 17th centuries. Archers played a central role in most military endeavors. In fact, the British considered them important enough to pass legislation, like the Unlawful Games Act of 1541, that tried to prohibit new diversions that might detract from bowman training. The last recorded use of large numbers of archers occurred during the final battle between Clan MacDonald and Clan Mackintosh in 1688.
