ARTIFACT: Great 1880's – 1890's hand-stamped and formed, Old West Deputy Sheriff inverted circle star badge. The badge reads: "DEPUTY SHERIFF" with blackened detail in lettering. Hand-hammered to create convex center, lettering off-center to the star. Great been-there look!
These badges came out of an old collection put together by a collector from Kansas, now deceased. As the bulk of his collection was Kansas and Colorado, it can be safely assumed that these badges were indeed worn in the Old West of their particular vintage, although I do not know exactly where any were used or collected.

VINTAGE: Circa 1880's – 1890's

SIZE: Approximately 1-3/4" in diameter

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Hand-stamped and forged, nickel plated nickel
