Hello everyone...my name is Gina and I'm new to all of this. I've been looking around trying to find a website to post some weird finds I get occasionally from auction lots. The latest I have ran across is a deputy badge from Santa Fe and a City Marshall badge from Colorado springs.
I don't deal in antiques or anything like that so for me to know anything about being fake or real is beyond me. That's why I'm here! Hoping someone can help me.

Welcome Aboard Gina! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting your state for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

In the meantime - I found one that look identical on EBAY: CITY MARSHAL US COLORADO SPRINGS WESTERN BADGE OF THE OLD WEST PIN BW-46 ($12.99)

And (but words are in wrong position -strange) EBAY: SANTE FE NEW MEXICO DEPUTY BADGE BW 65 WESTERN SHERIFF MARSHALL POLICE ($12.49)

Hello and welcome to Tnet...

in that Mr. vpnavy found like pieces on the ebay, leads me to believe they are reproductions...
by no means am I an expert, just my take....

they are cool though, hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Hi Gina -

I have been to many gun shows over the years and there are dealers that sell repro badges from every state. Old west style badges. Yours are very cool but notice that the are the same color, from different states and the backs are put on the exact same way... IMO these are repro badges...

Very cool though... welcome to the site...
