If I'm not mistaken, that MAY have some significance with the USS Milwaukee .



What does it read below the "Pacific Commander?" No. 8??

I believe the words are "San Francisco/Sept 1904" "Pacific Commandery No.8" and are associated with the Knights Templar.
In San Francisco they had their 28th trienniel conclave on the first Tuesday of Sept 1904.

Ahhhh, so it is.

Nice Id Don!

Thanks, 4-H; still working on the words below; third letter may be an 'N'.
The words could be 'Sonora', followed by California.

Yep its a California Masonic Knights Templar Badge. I think its the "Pacific Commandery No.3" in Sonora.

Thanks; still trying to ID the image. Appears to be several people in a rejoicing pose (hands raised) in front of a kneeling person holding a standard topped with a cross.
