Description
A circular Alpine Club Mountain Guide pin with a forest-green, enamel maple leaf centred on the pin face, edged in silver and with the letters “ACMG” in silver. The outer rim of the pin is a coiled climbing rope encircling it three times; at the bottom is a red enamel curved bar edged in silver with “MOUNTAIN” on top and “GUIDE” below in silver. The stylized cut-out maple leaf has a flat one-dimensional pair of skis crossed with an ice axe underneath. Both extend onto the coiled rope rim. Stamped on the back of the pin at the centre and under the pin set is the number “27” and something indecipherable beneath. There is one horizontal long-hinged pin soldered on the back that is rivetted at one end and fastens at the other end (bottom) with a swivel-locking safety clasp.
