On a buff vertical rectangular embroidered device, arched convexly at top and bottom, a red wedge-shape issuing from the bottom to the middle of the device, below a blue chevron embattled on the top, overall a diagonally crossed white battle-ax, blade up and pointing out and a key, ward up and pointing out; all within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) red border. Overall dimensions are 2 1/16 inches (5.24 cm) in width and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height.
