Venturii Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Hey all, I recently came across these two badges in a lot. Police memorabilia is not my area, but could the Flying Squad be real and would it be possible to put a price on them? They are just taking up space meant for medals at the moment : ) Thx - Hans Ps. Sorry for the picture quality.
Craig Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Yes the Flying Squad is a real department whose remit is armed robberies. That badge however has nothing to do with the Police and would appear to be joke civilian key ring. The specials badge I will leave for others to comment on.
Dave Wilkinson Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 The special constable badge is the genuine item. Issued in their thousands during the Great War by Kent County Constabulary. Worth about £5-£10. Dave.
Venturii Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 Thank you Dave and Craig for the fast and very useful info. The flying squad goes in the box of fakes.
