ARTIFACT:
What we have here is a beautiful, WWII period Los Angeles County California Auxiliary Deputy Sheriff Hat Badge in STERLING SILVER by KAAG. The Auxiliary had NO CHEST BADGE, this was the ONLY BADGE THEY WORE! Wartime shortages of 1943 caused this badge to be produced in Sterling Silver. Some Badge Maker References show KAAG as manufacturing Badges from 1946 to 1974, but this badge pushes that start date to at least 1943!
A beautiful piece of Los Angeles County History, and WWII History, in gilt and enameled Sterling Silver. This badge is nearly identical to the one in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office Historical Collection pictured on their web site.
