There has been an interest in having a society for the O’cannan/Cannon surname. It is now in its infancy and we are working on several projects. We have worked on some tartans, but the main project now is to make a crest pin and a cladagh pin for the society. We decided that both would be nice to have as the name is both in Ireland and Scotland.

The basic idea we have is to have a wolf (derived from the name) from the waist up on the torse brandishing a two handed claymore (a nod to Clan MacMillan). We are still deciding the motto at this time. Unfortunately I do not seem to have the skills to do this one right and do it justice so I am begging for assistance from you fine ladies and gentlemen. If we can get the basic black and white drawing then we can move forward with the project.

 

We would greatly appreciate any help possible as this is a labor of love for those of us who are giving so much time to it. If you are interested in helping please contact me here or at my email. haroldcannon@hotmail.com

Is a claddagh pin basically the same as the crest badge only the strap and buckle is replaced by a claddagh?

That is correct Kenneth and the motto would go on the arch that connects the two hands.

This is kind of what we are going for for the Irish members and the of course a buckle and strap for the Scottish members.

After looking at this I guess it would be best to put the name, O’ Cannan instead of a motto.

I can’t recall having seen a "claddagh pin" before - very interesting!

Ditto!—news to me.  (Not that this proves a lot…)

Is there any established custom as to how these pins are used in Irish heraldry?

e.g. do they serve +/- the same purpose as the Scottish strap & buckle "clansman’s" badge?

or are they +/- equivalent to the armiger’s circlet badge i.e. his/her own personal crest?)?

Or are they just a recent example of artistic license?

It is probably just artistic but they are worn much the same as a buckle and strap. Of course they are worn on an Irish Caubeen instead of a bonnet. There isnt a whole lot of difference between them though.

I am finding this to be more of a challenge than I can handle. I cant seem to get the wolf right and the hands on the claddagh are giving me fits as well.

Where did you find the half-dozen or so examples you posted?  are they from a commercial website?

(Thaqnks for your patience…)

I believe these are a product made by Gaelic Themes. I know they make Scottish crest pins too.
