Rare & Beautiful 1910's Oklahoma City, OK Lion Top Police Badge

Rare & Beautiful 1910's Oklahoma City Oklahoma Police Badge. A great example of this rarely-offered badge, with just enough wear to have that "been-there" look. Considered the 5th Department issue, and dating to the early period of statehood, although Oklahoma was bustling in size by the early 20th century, to say that this new state was still part of the Wild West when this badge was worn would be an understatement. A big, beautiful badge sure to "pop" in your Old West Lawman Badge collection. The badge is a lion-top sunburst, the center shows the number "315" and surrounding it reads: "OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE".

Circa 1910's

Approximately: 2-7/8" x 2-1/2"

Nickel plated nickel

Vertical, saddled safety style pin.

None.

This is from an Old West Lawman police and law enforcement collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. CON-KDB-20-15 LBBIEX10/15 SAHJJX1/16

7 (Very Fine): The badge shows moderate to heavy wear, some of the nickel plated details remain, overall very fine condition.

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