​

A)  This is a private & non-official website for historical purpose only & collecting

​

​

B) NO SALE

​

​

C)  There are no national & federal regulation patches. New York city patches only are shown here (field offices, joint ops..) 

​

​

D)  The inventory number retakes the references of K. Brown and C. Begg's previous work. In case of conflict, the Kenneth Brown's inventory is preferred. I set up an additional inventory (with blue letters & numbers) for the missing and/or new patches.

 

​Furthermore, the terms NOVELTY and UNOFFICIAL retakes the Kenneth Brown's Empire State guide (VOL. III) foreword definition.

 

-"UNOFFICIAL patch isn't issued by the department. It may or may have not been authorized, but was worn on a uniform by one or more members at one time or another"

​

-"NOVELTY patch isn't issued by the department or authorized and was never worn on duty (but may have been used by its members, on utility bags mostly)"

​​

​​​

E)  There are many replicas in the hobby. Some may appear here and there whether it is for information (specified) or against my will
