I am still trying to put an accurate date on it but I am having a hard time finding one on the Internet just like this one. I have found newer ones made of brass that date to the early 1900's, so I'm pretty sure this one dates back to the late 1800's. Knights of Pythias was founded in 1864 and was the first fraternal organization to receive a charter under an act of the United States Congress. I have got a question in to the Order that is still in operation today. I think the buckle is cast bronze, but not sure.
