After I graduated from high school in 1982 I had no further involvment there. So I'm not that much help on the specifics of who/where this was made. It was my impression they were hand carved by someone "connected" to the lodge, but that could have easily been Roland Flora. It was not at all uncommon for Suffolk County Council troops to go to TMR, so folks there could have been acquainted with Flora. It seems logical. Yes, the arrow is mounted within a groove. I had no difficulty getting the piece then, so I wouldn't have expected it to be obscure. Perhaps there's a Shinnecock brother here who knows more about this? I was inducted in 360 in 1979.

It appears to have the same style leather loop on back for attaching to the neckerchief and (I believe) a groove in the back of the slide for placement of the arrow. Your insight? -Ray Very interesting-
