Does anyone recognise the attached image?

It appears to be a uniform patch. Searching on Google using "three keys" as a symbol, patch etc took me down various roads: Dan Brown, Girl Guides, Boxer Rebellion and more.

Thanks

Does anyone have any further information on the three key patch? I have seen it a couple times now, but I can't seem to find any information other than it hails from the US...

It looks like a modern interpretation of symbols used by the Knights of the Crusade.

The all seeing eye, the Saturn square, and the cross laid on side.

There are also other Christian symbols there.

The multi cross and the fingers of God at the end of what look like keys, and of course the keys being the symbol of St Peter.

Perhaps you have an army ready to rise up against Islam? The other thing of interest is the use of the diamond shape instead of triangles. The diamond is used as a warning.

I'm probably wrong and the badge might belong to the Girl Scouts:D

It is an emblem that is utilised by a company that makes clothes for skate boarders called Rogue Status, whose website is: http://www.roguestatus.com/ and no I've not tried to find the patch on there.

Not a very exciting conclusion:wry:

NB: it's inverted, which fits in with RS' iconography as well :wry:.

"oh great... the symbologist is here...." says the head of the Swiss Guard in Angels and Demons. He has a point.

It's a good thing, because that was a real waste of time trying to even find it on that site.

I will not pummel you about the head... Too many herein have beaten me to it :D
