Can anyone identify this??????

I have been trying several forums in order to determine what this might be. It has Kent on the top and assistant on the bottom. I personally think it looks something to do with martial arts, as it seems to be hands holding 2 sticks while possibly jumping or holding them self in the air. It was found on a beach in Southern California so I do not think it has anything to do with Kent State but who knows, Items seem to travel to far away places. On the back is stamped F&S, looks like mfg. stamp, with 3 icons, a lion, an anchor, and I am not sure what the third is. I appreciate anyone that can help and thank you in advance for your replies, because I have not quit figured out how to reply to everyone that responds, but I will keep trying.

Its likely from Kent England, based on the hallmarks on the back.

...not sure if this helps, but here are a couple of F&S hallmarks. One has a lion and an anchor.
Scroll down about halfway.

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

That’s a Provincial Past Masters Masonic Jewel for an Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies. They’re ‘provincial’ in the sense that you’ll find them for all counties/regions, like the one below for Cornwall:

At the end of a Freemasons term as Worshipful Master, the Lodge will present him with a Past Masters Jewel in recognition of his work in that role. These jewels are similar in appearance to a military medal and normally worn hanging from the left breast pocket of the suit jacket (rather than the collar, as suggested in that eBay listing).
