Description
A nickel plated police badge from the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad. It measures 1 3/4" by 3". This was a New York Central Railroad controlled line. It has an eagle on top with POLICE on top and P&LE RR on the bottom with a COMMONWEALTH of PENNSYLVANIA center seal in 4 color enamel. The small panel on the bottom has "7". The back shows hollow stamped construction with no makers hallmark. There is some greenish tarnish on the reverse and some light rubbing to the front. A beautiful badge.
Years ago I was advised to avoid police badges because they were being reproduced and other fantasy pieces also hit the market. I have never learned how to spot fakes and it seems like everyone likes to think that they are experts on this ability. On a good side all of the police badges we are selling are from one long time collector friend of mine and I know he would not intentionally buy or sell a fake.
