Found this in Cripple Creek Colorado

[BADDOG]

Any ideas what this might be? It's a pin approximately 4" long.
The middle is a skull and cross bones.

Thanks for the help

Good Luck and HH

Well, I did some research and I think i know kinda what it is:

http://www.doles.org/DelkNews11/DELKNEWS11.htm

Looks like the acronym is suppose to be FCB Friendship (blue), Charity (yellow), and Benevolence (red). The most typical emblem associated with the KP Knights of Pythias. Here is an exerpt:

" Pythian Sisters Organized in 1888 in Concord, NH as a female auxiliary of the Knights of Pythias. Still active.

The Order of Knights of Pythias was founded in Washington, DC, February 19, 1864,. They claim to promote friendship among men and to help relieve people's suffering. It bases its rituals on the story of Damon and Pythias. It borrowed elements from the Masons and Red Men. Today there are about 2000 lodges in the USA and Canada. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was initiated into the Knights of Pythias in 1936 in a special ceremony in the diplomatic reception room of the white house. Pythian Sisters is the women's branch of the Knights of Pythias.

Hey, well, Google is magical. I tried "CBF Red Blue Yellow", "BCF Red Blue Yellow", and "FCB Red Blue Yellow" using the image search on google. You would be surprised what you can find.

I tried those searches but left out the colors. I also tried 2 axes, 1 sword, skull and x bones, etc.

Once again thanks!!
