Late 1930s-1940s Wakefield, Massachusetts Police Sgt. Badge Custom Die Clamshell Badge

This is a circa late 1930s or 1940s Wakefield, Massachusetts Police Sergeant badge. The badge is in a custom die "clamshell" or "sunburst radiator" style. The badge is two joined portions: this way the main badge of a patrolman could have its top added or changed when a sergeant badge was needed.

Circa late 1930s-1940s.

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

Gold-plated over chrome-plated brass.

Vertical kick pin with drop-in locking swivel catch.

None.

This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. TRAEX13 LAHEX4/13 SAFEX4/14

6- (Fine): The badge has some areas of moderate wear and some discoloration.

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