Please also remember that badges, accoutrements and uniforms are not legal warrants and that the images on this site are not neccesarily taken from real items and that all of the "images" on this site, it is believed, are of obsolete items which have historical value. 
 
Just because a badge, accoutrement, uniform or part thereof is on this site, does not mean anyone  physically owns it or possesses it. Many images have been computer generated, totally created, manipulated or enhanced from reference. Others have been donated, some anonymously, by collectors or obtained from museums from around the world; including the Australian National Archives and Australian War Memorial. The numbers on all the badges are fictitious.

The "Queen's Crown" or "Saint Edward's Crown" is displayed on insignia strictly by, Royal Warrant of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, of the United Kingdom: The Royal Household © Copyright 2010.
Also, please check your local laws to determine whether it is legal for you to collect or possess Police Insignia, if you do, as heavy penalties may apply. Unfortunately, some states and agencies still make it illegal for anyone, including Police officers, to collect or possess any Police Insignia without authorisation; no matter how old or obsolete it is.
