Description

ARTIFACT:

This is a great little circa 1890s Old West "stock" deputy sheriff cut-out star badge, with early type Hand-Stamped Lettering. The badge is in a small size and has a diagonal pin fastener.

This badge comes form a time and place in the Old West where the wearer did not want too large of a target on him for a ruthless Outlaw to be able to hit. 
This is also a size used by members of quickly assembled Posses to hunt down those same ruthless Outlaws. A great piece of Old West History.
