Major Badge Sale

I recently acquired this large collection of police badges from a collector who has been in the hobby over 50 years.  There are many fine examples of antique pieces within this collection.  This is perhaps one of the finest collections I have seen.  (note: Many of the original badges from this collection have been sold and went to good collecting homes.  This is what is left.  However, keep an eye out because I will soon be selling off my collection )

For pricing information, please contact me at this e mail address  Please include YOUR FULL NAME and address in any e mail requests.  I do not return anonymous e mails.

Photographs (digital) are  available only on request after you've priced the badge(s) you are interested in.  There are too many badges to post photographs of each one.  All badges are genuine unless otherwise denoted.  There were very few repro badges within this collection and they are denoted as such in the description.

The badges are sorted by state and then agency name.   Badges such as Generic or miscellaneous badges are at the bottom of the list with a "Z" marking, indicating a miscellaneous location.  Private badges also are within this area.  The number in the left column means nothing except where I can locate the badge (which display case) so please don't ask for info based upon this number.

Badge prices do not include shipping. Suggest Priority mail with insurance.
