Deseret Mormon Pioneer LDS Flag Pin Badge

This enamel pin depicts a historic-style Deseret flag, featuring alternating blue and white horizontal stripes with a star-filled canton and prominent central star. Deseret was the name proposed in 1849 for a large provisional state organised by Latter-day Saint settlers in the American West under the leadership of Brigham Young. Although the proposed State of Deseret was never admitted to the United States, the name became closely associated with early Mormon pioneer history and the settlement of what became Utah and surrounding areas.

The word “Deseret” comes from the Book of Mormon, where it is defined as meaning “honeybee,” and the beehive subsequently became an enduring symbol associated with Utah and its pioneer heritage. Historical Deseret flags were not represented by one universally standardised design in the way modern national flags are, and several reconstructed or commemorative versions exist. This decorative design uses blue and white stripes together with a canton of stars to create a distinctive historical-inspired flag for collectors interested in Mormon, Latter-day Saint, Utah and American frontier history.

Measuring approximately 1.4 x 1.9cm, this enamel lapel pin recreates the flag in a compact waving design with blue and white enamel and a polished gold-tone metal finish. The raised metal borders clearly define the stripes and stars, while a secure butterfly clutch fastening makes it suitable for jackets, bags, hats, lanyards and display boards. Its durable metal construction and compact dimensions make it an interesting gift or collectable for history enthusiasts, flag collectors and those interested in Utah, pioneer and Latter-day Saint heritage.
