Hi Gel65, Thank you for your response and opinion. To be quite honest, although I collect US badges, I have not seen this badge or indeed anything similar so you may well be correct?? I assumed that the clip on the back was designed to clip onto a pocket or a belt etc and that was why there was no pin on the reverse???
With thanks regards and best wishes Michael R

A VERY Belated reply - this badge was most probably produced for non-military service personnel (Security contractor gate guards etc.) The rear fitting is designed for the badge to fit into a leather Identification wallet or leather belt badge holder.
Best Regards

Hi Tony, Thank you for your message and comments on the badge. I like US metal badges and this badge is still in my collection. I had not thought about it being for contractor or civilian gate guard personnel but it is as good a logic as anything that I have come up with!
Thank you once again
With regards and best wishes Michael R

I can’t comment on the authenticity of the badge in the original post but the basic design with eagle on top is pretty common for small US police departments. About 10 years ago I custom ordered one in that design but with different writing from a US company as a retirement gift for a police officer friend. It would be easy for someone to custom order your badge.
