WWII KRIPO ID Tag or Warrant Disc

Reddick Militaria's WWII German Kripo ID Tags, or Warrant Discs, are the finest and most accurate reproductions made to date!  Die-struck like the early models, our Kripo discs are bronze and each disc features a custom number based on the original series.  Featuring exquisite details, the obverse bearing a raised German National Eagle clutching a wreathed swastika and the reverse with a raised inscription: “STAATLICHE KRIMINALPOLIZEI” (State Criminal Police), these are the best available!

After Himmler centralized the police forces in the German Reich in the mid-1930s, these became the official identification badges for the Gestapo and the state criminal police. They were stamped with individual officer's numbers and generally suspended from a chain. They had the authority of a warrant and once displayed during an arrest, investigation or search, ensured compliance.

These are extremely rare as many were destroyed at War's end in order to hide identities and thereby, avoid prosecution.
