A shield-shaped badge, probably c. 1890-1910, depicts a female figure
holding the scales of justice in one hand and a U.S. flag in the
other. Beneath are clasped hands and a banner bearing the motto
"Fidelity, Patriotism, Integrity." Please identify the issuing
organization and, if possible, provide a link to a webpage displaying
this badge/emblem. (Note: I know that the FBI has a similar motto,
"Fidelity, Bravery, Patriotism," and also bears the scales of justice
in its official seal; however, I do not believe this item to be
related to that agency.) |
