The front of the gold Border Patrol Inspector badge has the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service seal when the agency was part of the U.S. Department of Justice from 1940 to 2003. Established in 1933, the INS was dissolved on March 1, 2003 as part of a major government reorganization effort following the 9/11 attacks in 2001. The INS functions were absorbed into three newly created entities under the newly created Department of Homeland Security. The back of the badge is marked, “THIS BADGE CONVEYS/NO AUTHORITY/UNLESS ACCOMPANIED/BY/PROPER CREDENTIALS/5781”. Has a vertical pin back. Provenance: The Robert B. “Bob” Berryman Estate Collection
