Great 1890's Old West "Stock" Deputy Sheriff Shield Badge with Great Hand-Stamped Details

What we have here is a Wonderful circa 1890's Old West "Stock" Deputy Sheriff Shield Badge. The badge reads "DEPUTY SHERIFF" with great hand-stamped details - the crooked embellishment at center resembles a great old fashioned Handlebar Moustache! The reverse shows an early sheet brass saddle on the one piece pin.

Circa 1890's.

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

Nickel plated nickel with black painted details, and a brass pin and saddle.

Vertical one piece pin with open catch and hand cut brass saddle.

This is from an old western and lawman police collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX16 LFGEX2/16 SLIGEX12/27/24

9- (Excellent+): The badge shows very minor wear, with a couple of tiny areas of paint loss, much of the original lacquer on the obverse remains intact.

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