Other Kansas TSA Pins
Designed by Rick Schmidt and Walt Wiechen at the Lebo State Conference
Prior to 1998.
This was the first metal Kansas TSA Pin produced
It was manufactured incorrectly as the red and blue backgrounds are reversed. After a few years, this pin was more collectable than the correctly-produced version.
Designed by Walt Wiechen Chaparral Advisor.
