The use of metallic insignia by police in the United Kingdom is only contextually recent and only since the 1970s have major police forces issued metal insignia to accompany a warrant card. Originally at the height of “The Troubles” as IRA terrorists could blend into crowd situations a plastic silver and orange “flap” was included with the warrant card intended to be placed in a plainclothes or off-duty officer’s left breast pocket to act as a “friend or foe” identifier to British police snipers (who would naturally be aiming at the left chest pursuant to training at that time). Only in recent years has the use of metallic insignia (now usually accompanies by a braille bar) been standard.At all times the warrant card holder and the warrant card remains the property of the issuing police force. British police do not get to keep their badge when they leave the police even after 40+ years service and do not receive a “RETIRED” ID card.This badge was made by Jeeves of Liverpool. It was purchased directly from the retired COLP officer to whom it was issued.This officer’s badge was damaged when a criminal stole the warrant card holder and tore it apart. The badge itself thrown to the ground during the course of an arrest. This damaged one of the two folding pins to the rear of the badge and the plating on the back. The officer was issued warrant card holder immediately owing to this incident and this badge and the damaged warrant card holder formed part of evidence in the criminal’s trial. After the trial as the badge had been damaged and replaced the officer was allowed to retain this badge as a keepsake by the City of London Police. He had the torn off pin re-attached by a jeweler after his retirement and retained the badge until it made its way to the present seller.
