Ca. 1920's "Stock" Western Deputy Sheriff Circle Star Cut Out Shield Badge

Wonderful 1920's "Stock" Western circle cut out star shield Deputy Sheriff badge. The nickel plated nickel, slightly convex badge reads: "DEPUTY SHERIFF" in stamped lettering with black detail.
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.

Circa 1920's

Approximately 1-3/4" x 1-1/2"

Nickel plated nickel, black paint

Vertical kick pin with 'C' style catch.

None.

This is from a police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEJX15 LCDEX12/15

7+ (Very Fine+): The badge shows moderate surface wear, some of the plating and painted details remain intact.

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