dalbert Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 junglewalk, I believe there is a Federal statute that makes it illegal to manufacture, sell, etc., a fake Federal law enforcement badge. That could explain why you haven't found one. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeRanger Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Given their history in using Thompsons to murder strikers this one might be appropriate toohttps://www.amazon.com/Pinkerton-Detective-Agency-Obsolete-Police/dp/B001J1XD76/ref=pd_sbs_201_4/142-9530532-2131802?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001J1XD76&pd_rd_r=8e46afae-51de-4f6e-98f2-ecc53b387e3c&pd_rd_w=yjpzo&pd_rd_wg=gmz7w&pf_rd_p=7cd8f929-4345-4bf2-a554-7d7588b3dd5f&pf_rd_r=03NGAKGMVY365S5FR5JA&psc=1&refRID=03NGAKGMVY365S5FR5JA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglewalk Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Yeah, I saw that one:> ...The Pinkerton Detective service, did they not go out of business well before the advent of the Thompson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 The Pinkertons were involved in the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921 and in crushing numerous smaller labor movements up until the Wagner Act of 1935 took away their main revenue stream. There's no guarantee they used TSMGs but given the mine owners resources and the Pinkertons' reputation for ruthless savagery it seems possible if not probable. Buy the badge, put it in the case. It'll make for a good story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglewalk Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Found a simple metal "US Marshal " badge to pin in the case..........I'll have to take a photo.......Was it not the Pinkerton Security folks who failed to protect Pres. Lincoln that fateful night in April 1865..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin601 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Might also try contacting these people, They make a lot of the badges for local departments and Hollywood. Might have something that will work.https://www.sunbadgeorders.com/order-forms.phphttps://www.ebay.com/itm/FBI-badge-Keychain-also-available-DEA-FBI-USSS-ATF-IRS/233634078809?hash=item3665ad2059:g:8FUAAOSwkwJdWc-m Edited July 13, 2020 by Paladin601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
