Cobra 6 Actual Posted October 22, 2021 Share #151 Posted October 22, 2021 Now this is a BIG badge: Probably made for a going away plaque for someone stationed at Camp Butler, Okinawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted October 23, 2021 Share #152 Posted October 23, 2021 Here’s a pretty standard USAF Security Police badge with a South Korean Air Force one next to it: It’s pretty clear that the USAF design elements have influenced the South Korean version.

Los Alamitos CA. From what I read they trained pilots there staring in 1942. The pin catch is WWII period (my opinion). The badge measures 2 inches tall and 1 3/4 inches wide. Made by L.A. Stamp & Stationary Company. One of my new favorites. Los Alamitos Naval Air Station from 1942 - 1973 (now JFTB Los Alamitos) and assigned to Cal Guard. I live about 2 blocks from it...

Cobra 6 Actual Posted October 31, 2021 Share #164 Posted October 31, 2021 This is one of these “I’ve got the badge somewhere” things: Don’t know why I have the book stored in with the badges, while the badge has apparently gone ‘walkabout’.

Cobra 6 Actual Posted November 2, 2021 Share #167 Posted November 2, 2021 And in related badge news it seems that now challenge coins are being made in badge bottle opener shapes: I’ve now seen such coins for Army CID, Marine CID, NCIS, and OSI. Haven’t seen CGIS yet, but I’m sure one is out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra 6 Actual Posted November 5, 2021 Share #174 Posted November 5, 2021 This is interesting: the control number at the bottom of the badge almost appears to be for an MOS, yet “5811” is the main basic Marine military policeman MOS: Perhaps it’s not an MOS, but the last four of a service number or SSN.
