Beginning in 1908 when agents of the precursor of the FBI were known as
the "Special Agent Force" s series of similar badges have been displayed
by agents. Badges have consistently featured a shield topped by an eagle
with the prominent initials "US" and either "Bureau of Investigation" or
"Division of Investigation" at the top and "Department of Justice" at the
bottom. There is a central image of Justice which is blindfolded with a
scale in her right hand and a sword in her
left.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040825160713/http://www.fbi.gov/priorities/priorities.htm
