20369b. Lucas, Kenneth W. Sr., FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BADGES
20369b. Lucas, Kenneth W. Sr., FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BADGES. 1991. 392p. 8VO. Badges have long been of interest to collectors but before this book, there has been little information to enable collectors to learn the history and designs of these attractive and most desirable insignia. Included are thousands of photographs of individual badge designs arranged by department, with a description of the history and work of each department. Though the author does not include specifics on each design evolution, by going through the many designs shown, including views of the back and clasps, you can begin to piece together a time line to date and authenticate many shields in your collection. Includes complete views and listings of badges issued by the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce [including one badge of the Lighthouse Service], Defense, Energy, Health, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and over 50 other agencies. Most interesting and a worthwhile reference. (M). $128 net.
