rebelboy88 Posted October 2, 2015 Share #77 Posted October 2, 2015 I have a Presidential Service Badge that I recently purchased from the estate of a person who served on Marine one helicopter for JFK and LBJ. This man was assigned to Marine one when JFK was assassinated.The badge was issued during the LBJ period. The number on the back is 1472. Any idea as to the value would be greatly appreciated.

Dave Posted October 17, 2015 Share #79 Posted October 17, 2015 Hi Randy- Welcome to the forum!Value will depend on if there's anything else with the badge, but as a good estimate, with no other documentation or awards, I'd price it in the $200 range. Hope that helps!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Thanks for your help Dave. I'm a novice when it comes to identifying insignia and it's very encouraging to know that I can rely on people more knowledgeable than myself.

roadrunner Posted November 20, 2015 Share #82 Posted November 20, 2015 Hello A offer at eBay is not a reference for a price. I want to make sure that everyone knows that the Presidential Service Badge is not made of solid gold ! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Presidential-Service-Citation-With-Serial-Number-And-Original-Box-Gold/111824504223?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3Db015ec123e06499aa871032532b11557%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D161884600247 Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 22, 2015 Share #85 Posted November 22, 2015 I made the seller of the above PSB a respectable "retail" offer on his badge and then had quite a bit of correspondence back and forth. He priced it as per the weight and it's value in gold...and I told him that's simply not the case. I also directed him to this thread and another that discussed PSBs as well as several eBay auctions too. He told me he'd consider my offer when the auction ran it's course (it was a 30 day auction) but it ended and he relisted it at the same price...so....

roadrunner Posted November 22, 2015 Share #86 Posted November 22, 2015 at Dave I tried to contact the seller but he block all correspondence. I would offer $ 90.00 for the badge and $ 150.00 with matching certificate. To explain my offer I would add two pictures with results. How many items we have seen with scratches result testing is it gold or not. I think he could make it at a jeweler. Not good for the item but I think he has to go through that process if he don't trust. I hope he see this topic and the realiced prices last time and don't scratch the item. Michael .

Dave Posted November 22, 2015 Share #87 Posted November 22, 2015 I offered him $200 for it, which I felt was "retail" because it was from the actual recipient and thus worth a bit more to me. He probably thinks we're all trying to screw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted October 4, 2016 Share #88 Posted October 4, 2016 Hello I've seen this picture several times ( see #45-47 of this topic for details ) and only realiced Williams & Anderson Co. as manufacturer. We all know the badge as a Presidential Service badge But have you read the label exactly ? "BADGE WHITEHOUSE SERVICE" note "A - 6/64" ( contract date ) EO 11174 of Sept. 1, 1964 signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson retired the WHSB and issued a separate PSB. Between June and September the name was changed from White House Service badge to Presidential Service badge. So, are all items produced in this low numbers a 2nd version of the White House Service badge ? ;-) Interesting Michael . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted October 7, 2016 Share #89 Posted October 7, 2016 A other USMF member posted this picture It has the same label as above except it has the number 992 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted October 9, 2016 Share #90 Posted October 9, 2016 Hello Here is the current overview of my White House / Presidential Service items I hope to find a "V.H.B. G.I." Michael . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted June 2, 2018 Share #91 Posted June 2, 2018 I received for my collection the PSB number 1877 made by Williams & Anderson Co. with box. This is my third PSB made by Williams & Anderson Co. I have to hold all three, because #507 is the lowest number, #1877 is in the blue card box, and #2653 is with matching certificate and letter.

Diane Felts Posted September 12, 2020 Share #94 Posted September 12, 2020 Hello everyone. It's been interesting to read the postings about the PSB. I am a recipient of the PSB; my number is in the 7800s, during the Reagan administration. That might give some perceptive about the numbers all of you hold in your collection. Numbers are not skipped, to the best of my knowledge. However, it should be noted that if a PSB holder needs a replacement PSB, they are issued one with a newer, currently issued number. AR 670-1 regulates the wear of the PSB on the uniform for Army recipients; each branch of service has their own regulation manuals for their uniforms. Besides the PSB, there are medals and ribbons that may be awarded during a person's tour of duty with any of the units involved in supporting the President, some of the are joint service awards. Wikipedia's article on the PSB has been updated over the years, and is one of the best I've read. This is another: https://veteranscollection.org/tag/presidential-service-badge/ It should be noted that White House Signal Agency was renamed to White House Communications Agency.

bertmedals Posted October 4, 2020 Share #98 Posted October 4, 2020 On 10/9/2010 at 10:42 AM, VMI88 said: I just purchased a Presidential Service Badge in the original box and thought I'd add it to the thread: The box is dated 12/96 and is marked with a handwritten number matching the number on the badge. I just picked up one of these myself in an antique store in northwest Ohio. There appears to be a name written on the outside of the box -- "Buch" followed by "Sr" -- Senior maybe or some initials? I can't tell. I think it could be the awardee's name. Here are a few pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 5, 2020 Share #99 Posted October 5, 2020 I'm thinking that is one of the several hundred that was unissued. Here's a selection of ones that I owned, and the number fits within the numbers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krteach Posted March 22, 2021 Share #100 Posted March 22, 2021 Hello All: Should anyone come across a PSB in a collection / Pawn Shop / Where ever, with the number #7335, it was stolen in a theft. It is my original number PSB issued to me on March 31, 1983. The kicker is: #7335 is my original badge, this badge got damage while I was still station at HMX-1 Security and had a second one issued (Number UNKNOWN). Took the original to a jeweler and he fixed it. So I had basically two of them. In 1996, I had a break-in and ALL my Military items were taken with a bunch of other stuff. Both my badges, all my pictures, uniforms, everything. Such a bummer! So I hope that someday it shows up and someone will be curious as to the Real Owner. I will offer a reward if found. LONGSHOT!
