the badge number 75 is Lieutnant Edmond Exley ( Guy Pearce ) on L.A. Confidential

Most Prop LAPD badges are made with blank number, rank and city spaces and then a clear back decal is applied to fit what they need.

Look at how "DETECTIVE" is skewed...

what!!!!

 

[AJK001]

If you look at the word Detective on the badge in the picture with the dope, the letters slowly move up so that by the time it gets to the letters 'I', 'V' and 'E' at the end, they are almost going over the edge.

 

[Jedifyfe]

why!!!!

So the prop department can just re-use the same LAPD badge over and over again without having to get it recast with engraved numbers.

Sometimes you will see a prop LAPD badge with "Los Angeles" and "Sergeant or Detective" actually engraved but the number space is blank.

Here is a prime example. Of course the owner altered this photo for protective purposes but you can clearly see that the numbers are on a clear backed decal:

for me the list with the number badge is correct!!

many réplica LAPD babges are flats in movies instead of being ronded up
here the badge of Bud White ( Russel Crowe ) in L.A.Confidential
rank Policeman!! I love the old model badge, but the number is not identifiable.

With the title, I orginally thought this was a Star Trek thread, and wondered what a LPAD was.

Nice collection!
