WARNING, ANOTHER FEDERAL POLICE PATCH HAS BEEN REPRODUCED!
U.S. SECRET SERVICE K-9

The fraudulent patch is shown above, compared to the real thing. The real patch was made by Lion Brothers of Maryland, which makes the finest quality emblems possible. If you have ever felt a Lion Brothers patch you know it. The patch is solid, and firm to the touch. Lion uses a process to eliminate the "TAIL" from the merrowed edge. If you have a "TAIL" on this patch it is a fake. Lion also uses very thick plastic heated and drawn into the patch on the back.

On the fraudulent patch there is no plastic backing. The backing on the outer ring of the real patch shows through as black, the entire back of the repro is a white backing material with no plastic covering over it.

The real patch is slightly larger at a full four inches. The repro is 4/32 of an inch smaller than the full four inches. The dog's head on the real patch is three dimensional and really looks good, not the same for the repro.

The folks who had the patch advised they received it from a trader out of Germany. Beware of the repro. There was a second repro received at the same time from the same trader, a Emergency Response Team (ERT) patch. See it at
