Obsolete Detroit Police Officer RETIRED Michigan Badge, G.R. Davis (2024)

Standard 2"w x 2 1/2"h You can see where these we're made with a wider wallet clip that also was supposed to double as a money clip, that is also where the G.R. Davis LTD hallmark would be, there is no property of city disclaimer because as a retiree badge it is not city property. Most people who had these issued did not like the wider clips, there was no real recessed option unless you cut your own, and to clip them on a regular wallet flap made the wallet bulky, so like a lot of old school retirees this was just carried loose in the wallet, or placed in an id slot across from the ID. Very heavy duty solid made badges, these we're the first style to replace old style. Much of the enamel is fine, I can include a stock brass wallet clip that is not intended for this maker if the winning bidder chooses, otherwise a piece of fishing line tied around the eagle is a nice way to mount it in a shadow box display. Notice the detail in the eagle eye, that's what made these extra sharp, plating and enamel is not as bad as pics look, to the naked eye it displays nice, with the mode I use to take the pic it just pics up every detail the naked eye can't.Holds no law enforcement powers whatsoever and is being sold as a collectors item only.This badge/patch/medal meets the ebay guidelines for historical badges.
