Chukar Bird Pin B035

Commonly known as the "Chukar," the Chukar Partridge is a popular game bird prized for its challenging hunting experiences. Originating from Asia and introduced to various regions, it's recognized by its distinctive markings, including a striking black necklace and a red bill. Often referred to as the "Chukar Redleg" due to its reddish legs, this bird is known for its agile and evasive nature in rocky terrains, earning it the nickname "King of the Hills." Chukars are avid climbers, flourishing in hilly and mountainous landscapes. Hunters seek Chukars for their remarkable flying abilities and fast-paced, zigzagging flights. They are commonly hunted alongside other game birds like quails and pheasants. Chukars are known for their delicious meat, making them a sought-after target for culinary enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or an epicurean adventurer, the Chukar offers an exhilarating pursuit and a delectable reward.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
