ADPi Pin History

[Elsinore]

I guess kind of like with the white gold that was available for decades then just not an option for awhile then available again. Maybe it was the change in jewelers that brought the stickpin back? I *think* Balfour was our jeweler in the early 90s, then at some point it switched to Burr, Patterson, and Auld , then finally switched to Herff Jones. I don't see it as an option for other groups, either, and I kind of wonder why not, given Herff Jones makes the majority of groups' pins these days. Guess the individual organizations would have to approve it, but I'm not sure why they'd care much about guard style.

Wonder if they'd do four initials to cover both bases? lol With your silver pin, do you find it tarnishes easily?

I've had the silver pin a little over a year and it hasn't tarnished yet!
