There's a whole chapter on pins in Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: Dress Accessories c. 1150-c. 1450, including photos of 14th century pins specifically.

Karen, You are a star!
I'll double-check to make sure we dont already have a copy at home, and then I'm off to the museum to buy one during lunch.

Robert, originals are pretty cheap too.
I can recommend a supplier or too of the repro sort, UK and US.

Jorge, how the devil are you?
I'm actually looking for info so I can make them myself. Pottering about casting heads onto pins at the moment, and I thought I'd do some research on appropriate forms before I leapt too far into production...
Btw, I've a friend talking to Steve Millingham about a run of pounce pots. Are you interested?

Hi RoC,
fine mate, hope you are too.
I would need to see a pot first, I usually don't need to dry my ink, unless really accidentally blobby as I write mainly on paper, which is more absorbent than parchment.
But pins. Email me
cheers
