Three great badges from the Old West!
U.S. Marshal Filigree Shield Badge story inside the box:
There was no uniform badge in the U.S. Marshal service until 1941, when the “Eagle Top” variety was introduced nationwide. Prior to this, each district made its own identifying badge. This type of badge was worn by the infamous Earp brothers, Wyatt and Virgil.
We manufacture our Old West replica badges out of brass and steel.  They are double-stamped then silver plated.   Next, each badge is individually hand finished for a unique antique look.
Marshal Dodge City Badge story inside the box:
Dodge City had a reputation as one of the toughest towns on the frontier in the 1800’s. The original version of this marshal badge was worn by several famous lawmen, including Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Charlie Bassett, & Bill Tilghman.
U.S. Marshal Star Badge story inside the box:
Virgil Earp wore such a badge as this during his time in Tombstone. Virgil was commissioned by Crawley P. Dake, U.S. Marshal for Arizona. After Virgil was ambushed and crippled in 1882, it was Dake who appointed Wyatt as a (temporary) Deputy U.S. Marshal to pursue his brother Morgan's killer.
