And not a non-period subject either. Medieval pilgrims liked to purchase
pins or other tokens when they visited the various pilgrimage sites.
The best period parallel for the SCA tradition of using site tokens is
probably these pilgrim tokens.
For those interested in more details, see these files in the RELIGION
and CRAFTS sections of the Florilegium:
pilgrm-badges-msg (13K) 2/17/00 Medieval pilgrim badges. Referances.
casting-msg (109K) 2/17/00 Casting pewter and other metals.
Stefan, who has a Sable Thistle (Ansteorra A&S award) for casting pewter
pilgrim badges. See I do do something other than the Florilegium. :-)
