    If anyone could help me out with some information about this pledge pin and what it is from. Is it for a fraternity? Medical School? Secret Society? The back is marked Hausmanns, which a New Orleans Jeweler that made a bunch of custom pieces. There are pearls on the piece but I am not sure if they are real. The piece is rather small, measuring about 3/4" wide and 1/2" tall. There is a chain attached and a c-clasp on the back. The piece is gold and is marked 10K. Any information is greatly appreciated. I would like to know what this pin is from.
