ARTIFACT:
One of a kind! This is a wonderful named circa 1930 San Bernardino County, California Deputy sheriff badge that comes with its original carrying case and a 1921 carrying permit. The badge originally belonged to Albert Jordan, whose name is engraved upon the reverse of the badge. It is an ornate six-point star badge showing a California grizzly bear at center with the county's symbol, an arrowhead, below it in silver and gold fill. The badge has an early Entenmann Company hallmark on reverse. The "License to Carry a Concealed Firearm" was issued on July 10, 1931 to Dr. Albert Jordan of Lytle Creek for his Smith & Wesson and was signed by Ernest Shay, Under-Sheriff. The case is a tri-fold with a snap closure.
