The symbol looks like St. Andrew's Cross, which is in the papacy's coat of arms. The 2 keys represent the 2 keys to get into Heaven held by St. Peter. Very interesting :thumbsup: Breezie

Looks like crossed keys under a crown? One symbol that comes to mind is the Keys of St. Peter. Oops, Breezie posted while I was "googling" pictures.

Crossed Keys is also the insignia of the British Army's 2nd Division. Still looking to see if any crowns were incorporated into their badges.

The use of the royal crown is interesting. I saw this picture referencing the Coat of Arms of the See of York

Thanks very much Breezie and GpSnoopy. I'm just as happy with it being a Vatican souvenir as I am with it being a British Army 2nd Div. badge/pin. Thanks for the help :icon_thumright:
