Ever see one of these? Measures about 4.25� high from top to bottom and 4.25� at its widest point.
I have never seen one of these at any show or on the internet.
Your thougts.

Any of the vetern collectors have one of these? I thought it would go nicely with my GO dagger and hangers in a display.
Also are there any books about the GO/Diplo corps?

Brian is right as usual, I'll dig them out and post some scans of mine later. They are cool. There is also a good book "In service to fatherland" that covers Gov't & Diplo, DRK, and a few other organizations.

I do not believe that the insignia shown at the top of the page is real, this is a repro in my opinion the embroidery just does not do it for me, in fact this is the worst embroidery I have seen for a diplomatic eagle

Wow, nice! The detail is much greater and style is totaly diffrent! Any more photos of these????
I am a dagger collector, so I have very little knowledge of these, I know they are rare. Bill stated that he has only owned 2-3 of these since he has been dealing. That 2-3 in 25+ years! I am doubting the one he has for sale.

Whoever did the badge in question I believe is doing police eagles but the required quality and attention to detail is not there IMO
