Fantastic WWI Era Smith & Wesson Factory Police Badge Lucky #7

Approximately 2-15/16" in height and 1-3/4" in width.

Nickel-plated steel, painted lettering.

This is from a police collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VFJX12 LEGEX6/12 SDIJX6/13

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge shows some light wear and minor oxidation on reverse only.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
