I’m no expert by any means…but they could be aftermarket rather than official S&W patches…or reproductions of official patches.

DTH- Whats your problem? He's adding information.
You asked a question. If you want a certain answer, tell me, and I'll post it.

Not to worry. They are original factory patches. Here are some from my collection. I have over 200 factory patches. Do watch out for repros. You'll notice they are of a poor quality as opposed to the originals.

Thank you , I knew they were old and are quality made. I have collected patches from gun companies off and on since the late 1970’s . Got back into a few years ago when I noticed some patches in an estate sale. As older collectors are dying off their children or grandchildren don’t want the stuff and you can sometimes pick stuff up cheap as the Estate Sale companies don’t know what it is.

I got it from my girlfriend Katie at OSR (Out Side Repair) back in the 1980's. She found it in an old desk draw when they cleaned out the tunnel. I used to go there at least once a month. I'd stop at the guard house and they would usually just wave me through, no security checks. I had a Visitor badge they let me keep. I always honored their trust in me. Did nothing stupid.

They never noticed the dumpsters you were towing out?

I was driving a BFI Dumpster after hours. I made sure I used one that just came from a fish store, good and smelly! Guards would stay 50 feet away. And you said I wasn't smart.

These are really interesting. Do you have them from all over?

There are a nice variety, Dallas, Oakland, Greater New York, El Paso, Connecticut and some clubs and matches that would take some research to find out where they were held. I was planning on a shadowbox to display them along with a couple of my awards.

The box in a reversed photo looks like it is from V.A. Blackington & Co Inc in Attleboro Falls, Mass you might be able to find out who they made it for. I might be wrong on the name but I’ll have to find the medals tomorrow.
