Nice !!!

[Colt]

Beautiful!

Great collection. I remember my grandpa having some old sheriff badges, brings back some memories!

[juoneen]

I.m.o.

I'd say the period of your collection is from the early to late 70's to present. Do you have any real old badges ? I guess you aren't going to answer me huh?

I have many old police badges, but they would be inappropriate on this thread with the badges posted being so new, (and no back shots...means some could be repros)and besides this mr spain is still ignoring me, so with no answer at all, I just came back to mention that ignoring me makes me feel you aren't interested in seeing any from me. Thats fine.
YOU Might want to consider being a little more engaging when someone asks a question on a new thread , as many times the question is asked for a reason.(it might just get you a look at something you haven't ever seen), its been quite a while , and you've had plenty of time to answer by now, so you have no excuse(just came back to check). I also know where there are authentic illinois badges for sale right now. But I'm convinced you wouldn't be interested from someone you are rude to .(food for thought in the future)
I also asked my question to see how firendly you are...not so ..i'd say...(besides ; cops in my family) It Doesn't make sense to me to start a thread then ignore anybody asking a valid question. That's bad manners in my book.

Oh oh.

Time to bring out the 'Heavy' guns or in this case, badges.
