Some of the earliest known American law enforcement badges were found in the larger East Coast cities. These followed the example of their English predecessors and were rayed stars as can be found in the first issue Boston and Baltimore badges. They were totally custom die-struck pieces, based on the Star Medallions of Chivalric Orders with raised lettering and the armorial bearings or seal of their City. These were well suited to the larger and financially well off Municipal Departments. As smaller Cities and Towns began to institute their own agencies to supplement the County Sheriff's Offices, a more cost-effective solution was sought.
The plain five point, six point and seven point star badges made their appearance. These could be lettered with the City, Town, County and Department's name much more economically. The chivalric rayed star within a wreath badge became the five or six point star within a circle or crescent. At approximately the same time another type of badge was developing, this was the shield. Again, its origins were based on the armor carried by the Knights and Men at Arms that were modern law enforcements predecessors. (c)

а помнишь?
"корабль "Император" застыл, как стрела
поручик Голицын, а может вернёмся
зачем нам, поручик,
чужая земля?"
судьба оставшихся буржуа там была трагична, но мне кажется, что Терре удалось спрятать пару золотых монет при обыске в 1931 году, и она сохранила класовую принадлежность и роскошь.
для терры специально - если меня даже судят по еврейским законам меня это не расстраивает постольку поскольку законы справедливые...а как они называются и сколько у звезды лучей *это все пустое*
