DescriptionThis pin is constructed of brass and is monochrome. The base color is the golden color of the brass. The pin illustrates two brass, crossed rifles with intricate details, making up the main form of the pin. On the top portion of the pin, a brass number "4" is highlighted, connected with a thin horizontal piece of brass, while at the bottom, the letter "H" is featured. This pin is most likely associated with the 4-H Club shooting sports, which may connect to the donor, Mrs. Helen M. Dettweiler, involved in sports as a professional golfer during the mid-20th century.
