Batman 1989 Police Badge hunt

[Amazo76]

Hi, all. I'm looking for a Batman 1989 Police badge. Not the textile patch worn on their shoulder, but the metal shield they wore on the left breast of their jackets. Or at least some good reference photos to work from. All I've found through trawling Google are distant grainy images. There was one possible candidate, but I can't be certain if its correct.

Cool. I am not sure, but didn't one of the big auction houses auction one some years back - either Profiles in History when they were around or Prop Store?

I can check.

That'd be great,
Thanks

I did some digging and sadly I remembered wrong. All the badges I've seen where the Nolan trilogy badges. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

You probably won't get a better image of the original prop. However, I was poking around and found this very similar badge:

Pinterest linked this image back to this website - UNIFORM WARDROBE RENTALS - a wardrobe rentals company. Although I couldn't find that badge listed on their website it does make me wonder if it's from a line of generic costume badges based on an already common badge design.

That does seem to be the same style. Would be interesting to try and spot it in other movies. Maybe vintage?

That looks spot on to me. Just some lettering changes to do. Thanks, dude.
