I have been told possibly possibly Ohio, and that it may be a Horse Thief Detective Association related badge.
The badge is numbered 9 at the center of the star. The badge has very thin lettering and a vertical safety-style pin with a protected hinge.
The badge has a great presence and shows great age.
