That would make sense for Pe-Et (whatever that stands for) since the members were supposedly at "the top" of their class. At least, that's where I was kinda going with it....

Any idea which organization it is from then?
The problem is that the Resh is first... I've seen Hebrew on pins before, but most that I've seen have had at least some Jewish connection, and I'd expect that to be more likely from the Northeast.
