Each of Alaska and USA crossed flag pins is individually poly bagged and fixed by a butterfly clutch back. GS-JJ can provide many different American flag cross lapel pin and flag pins at the lowest price.

The flag of Alaska consists of eight gold stars, forming the Big Dipper and Polaris, on a dark blue field. The Big Dipper is an asterism in the constellation Ursa Major which symbolizes a bear, an animal indigenous to Alaska. As depicted on the flag, its stars can be used as a guide by the novice to locate Polaris and determine true north, which varies considerably from magnetic north. The design was created by Benny Benson of Seward and selected from among roughly 700 entries in a 1927 contest.
