Turkey Flats Jack Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Specifically replica railway police badges. Anyone have a GOOD source for them? Or even maybe some place that wont break the bank to make one? I'm open to any that might be neat looking to me but i'd really like to find one for the CH&D railway. I've looked a little on ebay, amazon, and even a few collectors sites. I haven't ever seen one for the CH&D dont know if they even had one but I dont have a problem making one up lol. Thanks

Cat Brules Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Well, maybe you could check eBay. Also, there are companies that make custom replica badges. If you have a good photograph of an existing badge, you might be able th have a replica badge copy made fo maybe $50-$80. I know there are at least a couple companies that make copies of badges. There are a lot of people who are interested in railroading, so maybe there are forums similar to ours where you could inquire about an original badge. Cat Brules

Turkey Flats Jack Posted June 11, 2020 Author Posted June 11, 2020 Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up having one made to suit me. Ended up being $35 shipped with all the extra engraving. I feel like it was a bargain and I'm completely happy with it. I got it from pieces of history. The base model was cheaper than the others and they offered additional stuff for a few dollars more.
watab kid Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 thats great - it has "the look" and says what you wanted , i really like what you found ,
