Seal Trident 5′

Description

The Special Warfare insignia, also known as the “SEAL Trident” or its more popular nickname, “The Budweiser,” recognizes those members of the United States Navy who have completed the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training, completed SEAL Qualification Training (SQT) and have been designated as U.S. Navy SEALs. It is one of the most recognizable breast insignia of the U.S. Navy and includes an eagle clutching a U.S. Navy anchor, trident, and flintlock style pistol.

This version is located at the US Navy SEAL’s headquarters in Richmond, VA. The 5’ x3’ bronze, was sculpted by well-known artist Ed Walker and cast by Carolina Bronze Sculpture in Seagrove, NC. Each casting in the edition of 100 is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
