ARTIFACT:
Great circa 1900 Deputy Sheriff circle star badge in nickel plated nickel.
The slightly convex badge features a center star with hand embellished edges and a surrounding circle that reads: "DEPUTY SHERIFF" in nice hand-stamped, blackened letters.
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 1900.
SIZE:
Approximately 1-7/8" in diameter;
MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION:
Hand-stamped and embellished, nickel plated nickel, black paint.
ATTACHMENT:
Vertical safety pin with 'C' type catch.

None.
ITEM NOTES:
This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX15 LDEJX12/15 SDEJX04/29/21
CONDITION:
7 (Very Fine): The badge shows minor to moderate surface wear, nearly all the plated and painted details remain intact, overall very fine condition.
GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
