About Me | Prairie-Law-Dog

Prairie-Law-Dog

Welcome to my Patch Collection. I have been collecting for over 6 years and my primary focus is Alberta law enforcement insignia, with a secondary focus being any patch from any law enforcement agency from Canada. I do have a few patches from the rest of the world but these are not focussed on much.

Part of the hobby for me is tracking the history of each department by dating the era a patch was used. While some patches are phased in over time, others are phased out quickly for the newer versions. End dates signify when the new patch first replaced the previous version. If you have any historical insights to the makers of a certain crest, when they were used, or if a patch was simply a prototype, trial or fake please let me know. Any reproduction or fake patches that I have will be labelled as such for other collectors to identify them once I learn their fraudulent status.

With the exception of my wanted patches folder, all patches displayed on this site are patches in my actual collection. Please feel free to contact me with any trade offers after you view my traders folder.

Please note that I do not sell patches, but I do buy from time to time. If you are looking to get out of the hobby or looking to trim your collection to a more focused area I am interested in obtaining entire Canadian collections that may be for sale.

Please note, all trading is conducted with the understanding that all patches are for collecting and/or historical purposes only, hold no legal authority and will not be used for any illegal or costume purposes.

Hope to trade with you soon.
