    Description

    RARE JAPANESE NATIONAL POLICE RESERVE OFFICER CAP BADGE
    You are purchasing just ONE (1) badge, out of a lot of 4.  The Japanese National Police Reserve (NPR) was the precursor to the current Japanese Self-Defense Forces, created after WW2 they weren't quite a conventional police force nor military or gendarmerie, but somewhere in between those.  The NPR was created in 1950, and became the SDF in 1954.  These badges are for the officer's crusher cap.  Here is your chance to collect an extremely scarce Japanese militaria/police badge!
    UPDATE: It's a little hard to see in the photos, but each badge does have the pointed pin intact near the tops.  I noticed this pin was broken on the badge being listed by another ebayer.
    They came in a much larger roll of these badges, and these are my last 4.  I'm assuming based on how they are packaged that these were dead stock and never touched.  With that said, despite being in the plastic strip each badge is just slightly different from the other and has very minor shelf wear.  When you purchase one, I will cut it from the plastic and staple the the open end of the newly cut plastic. The order in which these are bought will be the order they are cut from the strip from left to right as seen in the photos.   Please review the photos carefully.  Thanks for looking!
