Chief O'Hara hat badge
I was digging around trying to figure out Chief O'Hara's hat badge and discovered it is a vintage New Jersey police badge from the 1930s. Thought I would share.
Does anybody have one?

I searched for that before, not sure I "pinned" it down to NJ..Nice detective work.
Here are some other images in case a 3D print is in the works.

I noticed other policemen on the show all had different badges, I'm guessing they just took whatever they had lying around

Here is a shot of Stafford Repp's son Chris wearing a uniform owned by his father. This outfit went up for auction in 2019. No doubt it was in his collection as there was a letter of ownership but the jacket was clearly not one used on screen during the series. A shot also of the auction photo. O'Hara's jacket (and all the other officers) did NOT have any visible upper pocket pockets.

However, the badge is a real vintage police badge, not a repro
