Large volume of six point Sheriff, Deputy, Marshall badges from the 1960s. This group, which consists of approximately 120 badges, was made by Stan Lucawitz and Ron Gillio in the 1960s. They are all fantasies, designed for sale at tourist and gift shops as a sort of Western gimmick, promoting the history of the West. Not a single one of them is a copy of a real item- every single piece is a fantasy and made up. The badges include Virginia City Deputy Nevada Territory, United States Deputy Marshall, Railroad Detective Denver and Rio Grande, Indian Police Arizona Territory, Wells Fargo Guard Railroad Division, Amador County Sheriff California, US Marshall Deputy Oklahoma Territory, Amador County Sheriff California, Sutter Creek Deputy California, others. At the Western token show a couple years ago Mr. Lucawitz was kind enough to give a detailed story on the making of these badges approximately 50 or 60 years ago- it was quite a story. It becomes evident from looking at these badges that they were artificially aged although now they're officially antiques. This is a great group to sell out of your antique shop or out of your special Western store. HWAC# 59533 Date: Location:
