Great Seal of State of Maryland Golden Pin

You are looking at a beautiful stick pin of the seal of the State of Maryland consisting of an escutcheon, or shield, bearing the Calvert and Crossland arms quartered. Above is an earl's coronet. The escutcheon is supported on one side by a farmer and the other a fisherman. It symbolizes Lord Baltimore's two estates: Maryland and Avalon in Newfoundland. The Calvert motto on the scroll is "FATTI MASCHII PAROLE FEMINE," which is usually translated "manly deeds, womanly words." This is a lovely pin to have. It measures 1" W x 7/8" H and has two pins on the back to level it correctly when worn. The pin is in excellent condition. #0003
