Armed Forces Depot Great Seal Medallion for Hiking Sticks – 1-1/4 Inch Round with Nails

The Great Seal of the United States is one of the country's most recognizable national symbols, and this 1-1/4 inch round medallion from Armed Forces Depot lets you display it on your hiking stick. The medallion features the obverse of the Great Seal, showing the national coat of arms, and comes with two nails for easy attachment. Whether you're a veteran, patriot, or simply enjoy adding character to your hiking gear, this medallion offers a straightforward way to personalize your walking stick.

How the Great Seal Medallion Attaches to Your Hiking Stick

Each medallion includes two small nails designed to secure it to a wooden hiking stick. To install, position the medallion where you want it on the stick, then gently hammer the nails through the medallion's mounting holes into the wood. The process takes just a few minutes and requires only a hammer. The nails are sized to hold firmly without splitting typical hiking stick diameters.

What the Great Seal Represents

The Great Seal's obverse displays the bald eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, with a shield on its chest. Above the eagle's head is a constellation of 13 stars, and a banner in its beak reads 'E Pluribus Unum.' This design has been a defining emblem of the United States since 1782. Adding it to your hiking stick is a subtle way to carry a piece of American heritage on the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the medallion?

It is 1-1/4 inches (about 3.18 cm) in diameter, making it a compact decorative piece that fits most hiking sticks without adding noticeable weight or bulk.

Does it come with everything needed to attach it?

Yes, the medallion includes two nails for installation. You just need a hammer. The nails are meant for wooden sticks; the medallion is not intended for metal or plastic shafts.

Is the medallion made of metal?

The product listing does not specify the material. It is described as a medallion and comes with metal nails, so the medallion itself is likely a metal alloy, but you may want to contact Armed Forces Depot for exact material details.

Can I attach this to a hiking stick that already has other decorations?

Yes, as long as there is a flat or slightly curved area on the stick where the medallion can sit flush. The nails will hold it securely against the wood surface.
