Nazi WWII Bronze Tank Battle Badge by Frank & Reif, Stuttgart. 22103. - 22103
The Panzer Badge (German: Panzerkampfabzeichen) was a World War II military decoration of Nazi Germany awarded to troops in armoured divisions. Introduced on 20 December 1939, the Panzer Badge was authorised for award to tank crews who had actively participated in three armoured assaults on different days. On 1 June 1940 a bronze version was created for panzer grenadier units equipped with armoured vehicles, as well as other infantry, armoured reconnaissance, armoured signals and medical units serving with Panzer divisions. From 31 December 1942 armoured unit repair teams could receive the silver badge for repairing tanks in combat conditions on three different days. In June 1943 additional Tank Badges were instituted in both silver and bronze to reward participation in 25, 50, 75 and 100 armoured actions. The number of engagements required for these higher-level badges could be reduced for those with previous long and continuous frontline service or who had received disabling wounds. Only one badge, the highest level received, could be worn. The authorisation of these badges was usually done at regimental or divisional level. Marked to the rear with the manufacturer: Frank & Reif Stuttgart. See page 167 of Combat medals of the Third Reich by Christopher Ailsby for reference. The pin and clasp are secure. The price includes UK delivery. 22103.

*Set* Lancashire Constabulary, Manchester & Salford Police Helmet Plates and Manchester City Police and Greater Manchester Police Cap Badges. BA 889. - BA 889
After many complaints over several years over the crime ridden state of Lancashire, it was decided in 1839 that a combined county police force was required to police the county. In the same year the force was founded, and Captain John Woodford was made chief constable with two assistant chief constables, 14 superintendents and 660 constables. On 1 April 1968, as a result of a compulsory amalgamation scheme under the Police Act 1964, the force was abolished and, along with Manchester City Police, became part of the new Manchester and Salford Police. This new force lasted only 6 years when on 1 April 1974 the Manchester and Salford Police was amalgamated with a number of other police forces and parts of police forces to form the Greater Manchester Police which polices the area to this day. Greater Manchester Police was directly created from two recently amalgamated city police forces, Manchester and Salford Police and parts of what were Lancashire Constabulary, Cheshire Constabulary and West Yorkshire Constabulary on 1 April 1974. The city forces were Manchester Borough Police, which formed in the late 1830s and Salford Borough Police, which began in 1844. All plates and badges in good condition *enamel missing on city Police badge, see images*. The price for all four includes UK delivery. BA 889.

On 1 January 1851, the Surrey Constabulary began its policing of the county with a total of 70 officers, the youngest of whom was 14 years old. The first Chief Constable was H. C. Hastings, who served in this capacity for 48 years. Originally Guildford, Reigate and Godalming had separate borough police forces. The Reigate and Guildford forces were merged into Surrey's in 1943. Part of the present force area was originally part of the Metropolitan Police District, and was only transferred to the control of Surrey Police from the Metropolitan Police in 2000. East Sussex Constabulary was formed in 1840 and covered the area of East Sussex except for the boroughs of Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne and Hastings, which were served by their own borough police forces. During the Second World War these forces, together with West Sussex Constabulary, were temporarily amalgamated in 1943 to form the Sussex Police Force. After the war, the forces reverted in 1947 to their previous formation, except that Hove remained part of East Sussex Constabulary, whose headquarters were relocated to Malling House, Lewes in 1948.
