ARTIFACT:
This is a Boston Police Patrolman badge, from the 1940's - 1950's. The breast badge is numbered 5072 on reverse.
This one looks like it spent some time on "The Mean Streets" of Boston!
It has been replated at some time in its period of use, and then saw a good amount of wear afterwards.
It has plenty of dings and bends, lots of character!
