Serpico tv show

Nice find Kenny, thats pretty much the same style of card that eltee has. The Feds also punch/stamp 'Retired' through their creds.

I bought the Serpico biography, and it shows his genuine ID card. Note it's been stamp punched RETIRED.

Yes, same design but a little later. I think this one is made with the Kodak (or similar) ID method. There's a slight differences with fonts.

 

[eltee]

Anybody know where they can punch that RETIRED endorsement on cards? They used to do that in the US on PD cards, now they actually (at least in my jurisdiction) issue a specific RETIRED LEO ID card so that you can carry your firearm throughout the US when honorably retired. I've looked but no agency I know of uses that RETIRED punch any more, and I was unable to find a service that does that.

We used to use them back in the day, but now we issue seperate cards too. I'll look around and make some inquiries to see if the puncher is still around the office somewhere...betting it isn't, but it never hurts to ask.

Kenny,

Thanks

In the movie it showed the era correct way NYPD members ID'd themselves, just the shield in a small, snapover "Jay Pee" leather badge case

I've seen that case in a few movies. Do you know where I can get one ?
Is it the type which is just like a small pouch ?

Kenny, this is where I got my Jaypee cases from.
JayPee Accessories Holders

Anybody have an idea how to punch the 'Retired' into the card?

Thanks

and just for the exemple, here the résult with my Venice ticket, and the paper is very light....

 

[Kennyd]

Looks good Marc :thumbsup

The only other way I can think of is to use a hole punch, the type used for leather, and do it one at a time.
The one I have can punch fairly small holes, i'll try it later.

 

[Caplan]

mine, work quickly

Looks great Marc! I don't know if the diameter of the pin is too large, but a push pin may be easier to use than a sewing needle as it has a plastic base to grip with your fingers.

 

[Caplan]

[pauljones33]

I haven't done much with cards recently, just don't have the time these days
But here's a couple, these are based on genuine NYPD issued cards from the 1980s & current, with all fonts and details as close as possible.
