Lodge 459: New Sehwatu Chapter Service Award
Posted in 
Catawba 459 Sehwatu Chapter X2?
Larry Banks recently sent an image of a new service award patch from Sehwatu chapter of Catawba lodge. The previous chapter service award patch was a chevron meant to be worn on the pocket. This new patch is a pocket dangle featuring a stylized hornet and nest.
The chapter name is obvious on this patch, but the lodge name is much harder to find. I believe it is “ghosted” in the wings of the hornet. I do not see a fleur d’lis anywhere on this patch.
The listing data for this item should be as follows:
| Chapter | Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sehwatu | X2? | BLK | C | M/C | M/C | BLK | fdl; stylized hornet and nest; lodge name ghosted in wings |

You are correct about the lodge name; it is ghosted in the lower wing. The FDL is in the most proximal segment of the hornet’s body, just below the mouth.
