ARTIFACT:
This is a Fabulous circa 1880's Deputy "Dep" City Marshal 6 point Ball Tip Star Badge. Solid ball tips were individually applied to this beautifully embellished hand stamped nickel plated nickel badge, that started its life as a full City Marshal badge. The at some point not long after its manufacturer, apparently the city where this was being worn had need for a DEPUTY City Marshal badge, so a local jeweler neatly engraved "Dep" in front of the word City! A unique Old West badge, that I only wish could talk to tell us its story!
