Philippine Constabulary

[kiaiokalewa]

Now I can tell you that these are from another stratosphere, exceptionally scarce, almost never encountered.

On the same level of the early U.S. Army's Mess Jacket Insignia these are remarkable Insignia made in the Philippines by a very well known Insignia maker.

Without a doubt it is Crispulo's craftsmanship put to the wheel to spin out his very fine distinctives for the Constabulary troops.  Do note the many different hallmarks used by Zamora.  As a notable bonus we have Brias Roxas at the table too.

Well, the images speak for themselves.

I think most collectors are aware of the enlisted collar brass with enamel P.C. additions.

What isn't encountered at all are the officers brass.  When was the last time you've seen a Bureau of Prison collar insignia?  I'm just happy to have these in my holdings...

A few more Constabulary off to the right in the P.I. Scout display I have.

Great display!

Hey Mario really appreciate it the nice response.  When have a chance drop me an email.  Aloha, John

A closer look of the constab stuff in the frame.

Not your mass produced patch type DIs during and after WWII but the real deals from the Pre War era that the Philippine Division staff members had worn on their campaign hats.  The smaller variant is incised CZAMORA.

Wonderful collection of insignia, I've never seen most of them

Some P.I. Sea Lions to look at.

The detail on the brass piece is incredible. The reverse tells that the metal smith was resourceful and recycled a former P.C. badge or coin to craft this badge.

Outstanding collection of very interesting insignia.
