Two Field & Stream Arctic Grayling honor badges both with the original certificates. The first, marked A, is for a 2 lb 2 1/4 oz. Grayling, Caught August 10, 1970 By Ivan G. Grimshaw Jr. from Fort Wayne, Indiana. The certificate just says 2 lbs 2 ounces, leaves off the 1/4 ounce, the pin does have the 1/4 ounce engraved. . The second, marked B., is for a grayling caught on August 14 by Michael Grimshaw of Owosso, Michigan, it is 2 lbs. 2 1/2 ounces. Both certificate and pin are marked with the half. I wonder if a bet was won on that 1/4 of an ounce difference. First pins I have seen that recorded a fraction of an ounce. Both pins, and certificates are in good shape. Pins are 1 1/8 inch, copper in color. Pretty rare to find the original certificates, and the Arctic Grayling is a bit hard to find as well. $150.00 each A or B. , your choice. Item #5672
