Great Ca 1900 Mexican Border Guard (Resguardo Fronterizo) Badge from Juarez in Nickel & Coin Silver

This is a great circa 1900 Mexican Border Guard (Resguardo Fronterizo) badge from Ciudad Juarez. The main body of the badge is in nickel and is shield-shaped. The center medallion is in coin silver and shows the Mexican coat of arms. It seems that a spelling error was made on one side, but in the interest of not wasting materials, the badge was merely stamped on the reverse instead. The badge is in excellent condition.

Circa 1900.

Approximately 1-5/16" in height and 1-3/8" in width.

Nickel, coin silver.

Single screw post with disc backing.

Resguardo Froterizo (sic).

This is from an old Mexican Border Guard collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEJX14 LAAGEX3/14 SAJJJX01/19

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge has only some very light wear and tarnish.

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