Unparalleled Craftsmanship in Fine Pewter

Hand-cast from premium fine pewter, this ornament reflects the same unyielding discipline demanded of every mid. Pewter’s tarnish-resistant, silver-toned luster ensures your Academy pride remains shipshape for generations. Each piece is precision-molded to render every element of the front side with razor-sharp fidelity.

• Front Side: The official USNA Crest stands in commanding relief—fouled anchor crossed with a cutlass, encircled by “Ex Scientia Tridens” (From Knowledge, Seapower) and the motto “Honor • Courage • Commitment”. The founding year (1845) is subtly engraved beneath the shield, flanked by delicate waves and the iconic Chapel dome. Micro-etched stars along the border nod to the North Star and the eternal watch of the fleet.

Measuring approximately 3 inches in diameter and weighing under 2 ounces, this ornament balances dignified heft with effortless display. Over time, a subtle natural patina deepens its sea-worn character, enhancing the crisp details without diminishing their clarity.

Versatile Display Options with Included Satin Ribbon

Pre-strung with a luxurious satin ribbon in official navy blue and gold (the Academy’s colors), double-looped at 8 inches for secure hanging. The ribbon’s silky finish mirrors the polish of dress whites under review. Display your allegiance in countless ways:

• Holiday Tree Sentinel: Let it stand watch among the lights, evoking memories of Noel at the Yard, the Glee Club’s carols, and the silent night watch on the Severn.
• Rearview Mirror Compass: A daily reminder of the midshipman honor concept, the Brigade’s march, and the call to “Beat Army”—perfect for duty stations, deployments, or the drive to Tecumseh Court.
• Other Honorable Applications: Use as a desk paperweight in your wardroom, a wreath focal point at post, a gift-bag medallion, or a keychain talisman. It adapts to quarters, alumni halls, or veteran gatherings—a year-round emblem of “Anchors Aweigh.”

Packaged in a clear window gift box with a subdued gold-foil USNA seal, your ornament arrives protected and presentation-ready. A discreet insert card features the midshipman prayer and space for personalization—ideal for commissioning ceremonies or holiday gifting.
