Eagle and Maltese Cross “Die Elite” Pin, Pewter

The eagle and the Maltese cross
An eagle with spread wings, a small Maltese cross on its chest, stands on a large Maltese cross engraved “Die Elite” in gothic lettering. An old school pin for riders who like strong symbols. The pin is 3.5 mm (0.14 in) thick and sits flush on the leather.

Three attachment points
At 63 mm (2.48 in) wide and 50 mm (1.97 in) high, this pin sits on three posts: it stays firmly in place on your vest. So you never lose it on the road, consider our locking pin backs (you need three).

Handmade, piece by piece
In our family workshop, since 1989, every pin is cast in solid pewter in our own moulds, deburred by hand and given an aged silver patina. The patina brings out every detail of the relief, and pewter never rusts. And it looks even better in real life than in the photo: the relief and patina really show once it’s in your hand.
