Thanks. It's a mix of both right now. The steel cap and butterfly. Eventually they'll all be steel cap. Some also have a little sewing back up through them.
Wholly pins! Get rid of all your butterfly backs, those are not secure!
Most of those pins look pretty old. I see a lot of new enamel pins on ebay and Etsy now...there's more to collect now! \m/
I have very few butterfly clips now, actually. Just ordered some more of the steel top. Some of the pins won't accommodate the steel top clips though. About 99% of my pins are vintage. The hunt for these is really what excites me the most! Just when I think I've seen/had them all something else immerses from the deep recesses of time!

Holy shit how much does it weigh?

Little over 5lbs at the moment. It's super uncomfortable!

Great collection! Do you use special pin backing or just standard butterfly clutches?

That's a fantastic pin collection, but better don't take a swim with that thing.

do you use the butterfly pin holders on the back or pin holders like the military ?

Holy shit I'm so jelly right now, especially for those enamel pins (the few ones I have are not even music related), kudos man.

Iron Maiden made Door Knockers, they are sold out in the shop, but maybe you can acquire one somewhere else.
