ARTIFACT:

Shaver was commissioned to serve the US Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs on January 17th, 1945. This position was tasked with "enforcing any law or regulation for the maintenance of law and order on Indian reservations, and for the suppression of the traffic in intoxicants and narcotics among the Indians". The badge was used during his years of service in the Northwest and the center depicts a nicely detailed Chief's bust with a feathered headdress, surrounding it reads: DEPUTY SPECIAL OFFICER INDIAN SERVICE".
