Rare, Early 1920's Boston, Massachusetts Police Sergeant Badge #2120

Rare, early 1920's Boston, Massachusetts Police Sergeant Badge. The breast badge reads: "SERGEANT POLICE BOSTON" and in the center disc depicts a port and below it reads "BOSTONIA CONDITA AD. 1630", around the disc embossed letters read: "SICUT CIVITATIS REGIMINE DONATA AD 1822 PATRIBUS SIT DEUS NOBIS" and is numbered #2120 on the reverse. The badge was likely chrome plated and catch replaced in the 1930's.

8+ (Excellent): The badge shows minor to moderate wear, appears to have been chrome plated in the 1930's & catch was replaced. Badge appears to have been cleaned or "dipped" recently, much of the painted details remain intact.

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