I was given a bunch of pins the other night from a friend. Some are award pins, some membership, and an unusual bunch from (I believe) an Organization that goes by the name of Alcazar. I have 8 of these, some with the names of "Potentates" on them. They all have the sword, and an egypgtian head on them.
Kind of like the freemasons..IDK.
My camera does not take good close ups, but here is a pic of the group. Anyone have any idea's about Alcazar?

All cameras can take good close up's.

Hold the lens a bit further back and zoom in. Move the camera back and forth a bit until you find the magic focal length.

I'll have to dig out the book that came with it to figure it out. I thought it was a lost cause, but maybe not? Thanks.
