Agents provided their own badges a this time, which is fairly early in the scheme of things, not too long after the reorganization of the organization in 1913 (most of the typical Eagle Top IRS badges out there are from the1920's). The badge has a great old hand-stamped look, and has the original owner's name as R. W. LILLY engraved on the back. 

VINTAGE: 1880s - 1890s.

SIZE: Approximately: 2-1/8" in height x 1-7/8" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Nickel-plated brass with painted lettering.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical safety-style pin.

MARKINGS: R. W. LILLY

ITEM NOTES: This is from a police and lawman enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MCFJM24 LBFGEX04/26/24

CONDITION: 9- (Excellent+): The badge shows minor wear and nice duty wear.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
