Historic Fish & Game Badges

Can you identify the years these Connecticut badges were in use? Or know of anyone who could?
I know someone who owns them and he's interested in understanding how old they were. For example, the Special Protectors program started in 1895 but the badges may have been used for several years before changing the style.
Thanks for any info.

pretty cool!

Try a PM to TeikasDad. Maybe he can help.

There is a display of old warden stuff near the guard post at DEEP HQ in Hartford (79 Elm St). Some of the memorabilia has narrative attached, he might learn something there.

Thanks Hank...I sent a PM to him

thanks....good to know

Cool and interesting collection.

Keith - Bill Myers might be interested in this.

I will reach out to a retired warden who may know the answer, stay tuned.
