ARTIFACT:
This is an Extremely Rare circa 1927 - 1932 Washington Highway Patrol Badge # 390 in unmarked Sterling Silver, which was later modified in 1933 to a Washington State Patrol Badge.
This badge was manufactured in unmarked sterling silver,
with hard fired black enamel, sometime between 1927 and 1932. It originally
read WASHINGTON HIGHWAY PATROL and in 1933, when the Department was
Reorganized, a sterling silver Ring with the words STATE PATROL in hard fired
enamel was added around the central seal. The badge was Probably used for at
least a short while after 1933, but given the exceptional condition, it was not
worn for too long.
The current badge today resembles this 90 year old badge,
except that it is made in one piece, without the added ring.
