Edelweiss Pin, Pewter

The edelweiss
The snow flower, growing where no one else climbs: a symbol of courage, purity and love throughout the Alps, and the emblem of mountain troops.

Two attachment points
At 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter, this pin sits on two posts: it stays firmly in place on your vest. To make sure you never lose it on the road, try our locking pin backs (you’ll need two).

Handmade, piece by piece
In our family workshop, since 1989, every pin is cast in solid pewter in our own moulds, deburred by hand and given an aged silver patina. The patina brings out every detail of the relief, and pewter never rusts.
