MILITARY POLICE badges large Swiss military oval ornament

Short Description:

This is a badge of the Military Police. The badge features an ornate design with a golden laurel
like border encircling the outer edge, symbolizing honor and achievement. Inside the border,
the words “MILITARY POLICE” and “POLIZIA MILITARE” are prominently displayed in black lettering on two vertical panels,
indicating its affiliation with the military police force.

A red shield with a white cross, a well – known symbol often associated with Switzerland,
is positioned on the left side, suggesting a possible connection to Swiss military or police elements.
At the center of the badge is a black oval section, which contains a relief – like depiction of a map silhouette,
likely representing a specific region or country, intersected by a silver sword, signifying authority and protection.
The overall craftsmanship is fine, combining metallic colors and symbolic imagery to convey the badge’s significance
and the role of the military police it represents.
