THIS IS A SANTA MONICA POLICE OFFICER OVAL BADGE WITH CUSTOM SANTA MONICA SEAL & ISSUED HAT PIECE WITH CUSTOM SEAL. THE BADGE IS 3 1/2 "SILVER, GOLD PANELS & BLDG. HARD BLUE ENAMEL #3261. HAT BADGE IS STANDARD OPEN WING SILVER WITH GOLD SEAL AND "POLICE" PANEL.

I AM LISTING A LARGE AMOUNT OF POLICE BREAST & HAT BADGES WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL PICTURES BUT WILL ADD THEM LATER WHEN I GET THEM. IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC INQUIRY BEFORE I GET THE PICS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. I WILL TRY TO DESCRIBE THEM AS WELL AS POSSIBLE UNTIL I CAN GET THE PICTURES. I AM USING THE AUCTION INSTEAD OF SENDING OUT LISTS TO THE MANY COLLECTORS I KNOW. I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF COLLECTORS & BADGE COMPANIES WHO WILL VOUCH FOR ME IF YOU ARE NEW TO COLLECTING AND NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PAST ACTIVITY REGARDING MY BADGES.

I WILL ACCEPT USPS MONEY ORDER ONLY AS I HAVE BEEN ON ALL THE AUCTIONS SINCE THEY STARTED AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH PAYPAL & EBAY WHICH HAS COST ME MONEY SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS THE ONLY SITE I WILL BE USING AND WILL LIST UPWARDS OF 100 BADGES, BOOKS, PATCHES, ETC. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS OR SO. I AM A 40+ YEAR COLLECTOR, RETIRED LONG BEACH PD AND SOUTH GATE PD BEFORE THAT STARTING IN 1963. I HAVE HAD OVER 6000 TRANSACTIONS ON THE AUCTIONS, MANY ON COLLECTBADGES.COM WHERE I SOLD OVER 600 BADGES IN 3 YEARS CLEARING OUTSOME OF MY NEARLY 1000 BADGE COLLECTION. MOST OF THE BADGES ARE AUTHENTIC BUT THERE IS A SPRINKLING OF REPROS WHICH I WILL TRY TO DESCRIBE AS SUCH.

EMAIL ME AT LBPDHISTORY@BENDBROADBAND.COM WITH ANY QUESTIONS. PRIOR TO THESE LISTINGS I CURRENTLY HAVE 61 LISTINGS AS DESCRIBED BUT WITH PICS I HAD IN MY FILES. I WILL PAY SHIPPING ON ANY BADGE AND SHIP FIRST CLASS IN A PADDED BAG. IF YOU PREFER A BOX AND/OR INSURANCE PLEASE ADD $5 FOR A BOX, INSURANCE COST BASED ON THE USPS INSURANCE CHART. I PREFER TO DO TRANSACTIONS ON THE AUCTION TO SUPPORT THE SITE AND HAVE BETTER RECORD KEEPING AND AUTHENTICATION.
