A badge holder adapted to support a badge, the holder comprising:

• a first flat backing member having a front surface and opposed back surface;
• a second flat backing member having a front surface and an opposed back surface, the front surface of the second backing member adapted to support the badge thereon;
• a backing tab pivotally connecting the first backing member to the second backing member so that the second backing member folds over the first backing member between a first position where the back surface of the second backing member overlies the front surface of the first backing member and a second position where the front surface of the second backing member overlies the back surface of the first backing member;
• a belt clip affixed to the back surface of the first backing member;
• a length of elastic cord having opposed ends connected together to from a cord loop, the cord loop detachably connected at opposite ends thereof to the front surface of the first backing member to overlie the back surface of the first backing member adjacent the belt clip so that the cord loop constitutes means for supporting the badge holder on a user's hand when the user's hand is received between the cord loop and the first backing member;
• and
• a sliding tab mounted to the cord loop for shiftable movement thereon along the cord loop between the opposite ends of the cord loop over the belt clip and adapted to be manually grasped to pull the cord loop away from the belt clip and first backing member.
