ITEM NOTES:
This is from a police and law enforcement badge collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. MGEJK23 LBAHEX01/30/23
CONDITION:
Coat Badge: 8+ (Excellent): The coat badge shows minor to light wear and very light patina.
Hat Badge: 5+ (Fine-) : Not being made of gold, this badge apparently saw a lot of polishing to keep it matching the coat badge. And now, having been polished by a collector last, sometime in the last 40 or 50 years, there is an uneven patina and wear to the badge, and all of the gilding is gone from the obverse. ,
GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
