Very Rare 1700–1800s Argentinian “La Policía Capital” Epaulettes
An extraordinary and super rare pair of early Argentinian Capitol Police epaulettes, marked “La Policía Capital.” These 18th–19th century epaulettes represent one of the earliest forms of organized law enforcement in Buenos Aires and stand as an exceptional relic of South American policing history.
Each epaulette features richly woven White fringe, and finely detailed fittings, showcasing the distinctive ceremonial style of the period. The construction and design suggest high-ranking officer issue, likely worn during formal state or municipal duties within the capital.
Pieces from the 1700s–1800s Argentinian police institutions are nearly impossible to find today, making these epaulettes a museum-grade example of early Latin American uniform insignia.
A true collector’s highlight — authentic, historic, and incredibly scarce, embodying the origins of law enforcement tradition in Argentina’s capital.
