The little weight of a 32nd degree Scottish Rite lapel pin on a jacket feels like a quiet nod between brothers; that is what first struck me with this one. For anyone balancing lodge pride with national service, a masonic flag lapel pin like this resolves the worry about looking gaudy, since the polished gold tone stays dignified under both bright lights and candle glow.

I have seen more than a few pins shed enameling or twist their posts; this masonic flag lapel pin arrives with a solid brass clutch back that sits snug on a suit lapel through long meetings and longer degree nights. The included box keeps it from getting nicked in the dresser, which matters if you rotate several pins and do not want this one lost in the mix.
