Seventh Class Patch The 7th Class patch also displays an image of an actual badge (No. 7) that was carried by officers in the 1950’s. Their rank was inscribed on the badge. This badge identifies the holder as a Game Protector. Here it is reproduced in metallic gold thread. These badges were seldom worn on an outer garment…. generally they were carried in a front pocket or sometimes in their bill fold. The number 12 in the keystone in the outer ring represents the graduating officers in the 7th class.	Sixth Class Patch The 6th Class patch also displays an image of an actual badge ( No. 6 ) that was carried by officers in the 1950 - 1951 era. It is reproduced in metallic gold thread. These badges were seldom worn on an outer garment, and if so, they were pinned to the lapel of their civilian shirt or jacket. Generally they were carried in their pocket or sometimes in the bill fold. There is a keystone with the number 20 in the outer ring. This represents the graduating officers in the 6th Class.

Heller and R. West. Back then badges were carried in the pocket or in their bill fold. Hence the name " Pocket Badge " ! On occasion they were pinned to the lapel of an outer garment. This badge is made of metallic silver thread. It also carries the number 26 in the outer ring. This is the number of graduating officers. The next several patches will feature badges carried by officers of that era.	Fourth Class Patch The 4th Class patch displays an image of the badge ( No. 81 ) that was carried by officers of that day. It is said that this style was the first issued badge. The Commonwealth seal was an insert. Back then badges were seldom worn on an outer garment. Preferably, they were carried in the pocket or in their bill fold. On occasion they were pinned to the lapel of an outer garment. Hence, the name, Pocket Badge. This badge is made of metallic silver thread. Metallic gold thread forms the outer ring. It also carries the number 28 in the outer ring on the right side. This is the number of graduating officers. The next several patches will feature badges carried by officers of that dated era.

First To Serve Patch The First To Serve patch represents those officers who served the Commission since its inception in 1895 to the start of the First training class in 1936. The central theme is taken from a 1932 photo that is displayed in the Training School. Officer Bill Macky from Carbon County was one of the two officers in that photo. Space limited us to using just one officer on horseback.....So that would be, for historic purposes, Bill	First Class Patch The 1st Class patch has the central figure or logo being that Maroon Keystone patch that was worn by the officers of that era. The Green is that of their uniform shirts and trousers. Black represents the piping on their uniform, and their leather.
