Rare 1850s-1860s US Revenue US Customs Inspector Port of New York Badge in Coin Silver

This is a rare circa 1850s to 1860s United States Revenue (United States Customs) inspector Port of New York. United States Customs has existed since the 1790s, and the title on this badge is an earlier type of title. The badge is in die-stamped coin silver with a hand-engraved title and number. There is a nice brass T-style pin on reverse.

Circa 1850s-1860s.

Approximately 1-7/8" in height and 1-1/4" in width.

Die-stamped coin silver, brass pin.

Vertical T-style pin with C catch.

109 on front.

This is from a WWI foreign aviation collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MIJJX14 LCCIEX3/14 SCJJJX5/14

7+ (Very Fine+): The badge has some light wear and tarnishing.

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