I'm not certain if I am posting this question in the right place. If not, I hope someone can redirect me.
I found this badge in my Father's belongings. I've tried without success to identify it. I'm not sure if this helps, but locally in New Jersey he was a volunteer fireman and was on the emergency squad in the 50/60's.
Does this look familiar to anyone? My next stop would be to contact the town where he served though badges could have changed considerably since then. I see nothing on the badge indicating a fireman or emergency technician.
Plus there's that horse's head lol
Thanks!

Wow perhaps a police hat badge! Maybe he had another career I don't know about ; ) I guess I had too many keywords in my search, which is likely why I didn't find the link to the policeman's hat badge.
Thank you both so much! You replied so quickly too!
The coat of arms of New Jersey seal was also used on old firefighters badges, forest fighter warden badges sheriff's badges, medical technicians badges, and more, which probably explains why your father had one.
Agree with this ^^^^^
They made/make them and your dad's would have been for one of his services
They can be made in different finishes, His was older no doubt .
