ARTIFACT: Wonderful 1870's-80's Old West Deputy Sherriff six point star badge by S. G. Adams Stamp & Stationary, in St. Louis. The ball-tipped badge reads: "DEPUTY SHERIFF" in hand stamped lettering with black detail. It is getting extremely hard to find western badges of the 1870's or 1880's these days. The original pin on this example looks like it may have been re-soldered during the period of wear and the badge has a fabulous "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. Please see links below for other badges from this collection.

VINTAGE: Circa 1870's – 1880's.

SIZE: Approximately 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Nickel plated brass.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical safety style pin.

MARKINGS: "S. G. ADAMS S & S CO. ST. LOUIS"

ITEM NOTES: This is from an old western police and lawman enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MCJJX15 LABGEX12/15 SAJHJX4/16

CONDITION: 6 (Fine+): The badge shows heavy surface wear, much of the plating has worn from the front, though the reverse retains a good amount, possible period replacement to the pin, great been there look.

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