PA State Fencibles was established in 1813 as a military organization, which eventually became part of the Pennsylvania militia and continued as a unit in the National Guard until around 1900. The plate is rectangular and has an octagonal medallion at the center with the Pennsylvania flag design in relief. The plate has a pin on the reverse and is in very nice condition.
