Scarce 1930's Boston, MA Auxiliary Police Badge #4503

Scarce 1930's Boston, Massachusetts Auxiliary Police badge with interesting makeshift repair from period of use. The shield shaped, nickel plated brass badge is numbered: "4503" in the center and surrounding reads: "AUXILIARY POLICE BOSTON" in black painted detail.

Circa 1930's

Approximately 2-3/4" x 2-1/8"

Nickel-plated brass, black paint

Interesting period-of-use replacement, brass safety style pin that makes use of the original "C" catch (see photo).

None.

This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBJX16 LAAEX6/16

6+ (Fine—Very Fine): The badge shows moderate to heavy wear, period replacement of pin, some of the plated and painted details remain intact, overall fine condition.

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