ANDY'S SHERIFF'S BADGE
Oct 27^th, 2009 at 5:39pm

Does anyone here have a good high resolution picture of either Andy or Barny's Badge that they can post here or send in an email?

I'm positive that out of all of the, much traveled, fine folks here on this board that someone has seen the original (and photographed it) badge in person.

Here's a low res pic from a pic in my collection.

I can see by the number of times that this thread has been viewed, that I'm not the only one interested in this subject!

Maybe we need to approach this a little differently...

Instead of posting here, please email me at trekclassic@hotmail.com

I'll be glad to keep it private between us.

Also, if you are someone who knows someone who can help or even has a lead that might help, please feel free to contact me as well.

No lead is is too small, so don't hesitate to contact me with even the smallest piece of information.

Airy.

Hey guys. Thanks.

I already have that badge. It's the best thing going but it's only about 80% accurate.

Look at them side by side...

Quite a few differences if you look closely;
1. Wrong Font
2. Wrong Font Size
3. Upper and Lower Banner Shape Wrong
4. Ciircles Around Perimeter too Small and too Many

I could go on and on.

I don't have this one but I have the replica that is on Barney's police hat.

Maybe somebody here can tell who it is. That's what I'm looking for. A high resolution digital pic of the badge as it is today.

I wonder how many were made throughout the run of the show. I wonder if they got new ones each season. I've never heard it discussed before.
