That is as good as it gets...in the water a long time. Looks like a Knight with sword and shield inside of a arrowhead shape or crest. The picture looks better than the pin looks in person.

Looks academic so maybe some sort of school pin? Hope you solve the mystery! HH, Dave.

After a little research...this is a religious pin: A Standing Knight is the symbol for the "Armor of God" the Lotus flower on the left is the symbol for creation/birth or rebirth and the Y with the circle above is the symbol for the Holy Euchorist. I can't find one like it to compare or get the age...but I think its cool!
