A man from Sydney's east has been charged after he allegedly impersonated an Australian Federal Police officer and was caught with a series of prohibited replica firearms.

An AFP investigation began on September 23 after a member of the public handed in an AFP badge and identification to Bondi Police Station.

The badge and identification were seized for further investigation after a small quantity of cocaine was allegedly found behind the identification card.

Investigations led the police to a 50-year-old man from Double Bay.

A search warrant was executed at his home yesterday, where hats and t-shirts with AFP insignia, four replica firearms, 11 gel blasters, allegedly fraudulent badges and identification from other law enforcement agencies were all seized.
