Here is a Bolo badge from Germany in the early 1960's

Yes it’s real and yes it was worn (without chain of command approval)

Thank you for the laugh... I needed it.

I love it! Neat! When I was active duty around 2000, one of my 63W's came from a family that ran a jewelry store and they made custom stuff. They'd made him a mechanic's badge in silver (with clutch backs) and made a silver "Floor buffer" tab to hang from it! He'd taken it off the Class A jacket for his promotion board and was showing it to us. I begged him to have them make me one and advised I'd be happy to pay top dollar for it, but they never did. I did get a photo of it, but I have no idea where that picture is today so I can post it. It's an old gag, but I'd never actually seen it really done before then, and done so well you'd think they really did give out tabs for buffers! :lol:

The Private Murphy cartoon did a take on this a few years later: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/uploads//m...-1224158144.jpg
