Badge - Dep. Sheriff - Shield Pierced Star

This shield has the pieced star in the center, with Deputy Sheriff clearly marked.  Double dye struck in heavy duty 14 gauge copper and done with an antiqued finish in plated silver, you will choose this badge over the others in your collection.
Badges like this would have been see on men like Bob Olinger and J.W. Bell. Both were shot and killed by Billy the Kid when he escaped the hangman's noose in Lincoln NM on April 28 1881.
