This is a well made collectible of the old southwest. Since the turn of the Twentieth century the U.S. Border Patrol has been protecting our country. They have protected us from illegal immigrants smuggling in liquor during prohibition, stopping illegal immigrants from taking lucrative railroad jobs during the mass expansion, and helping fight the war on drugs today. This piece of American History was made from cast white metal. It's strong and light so it can be worn easily on your shirt, coat, or jacket. It is 2" in diameter. This replica has been cast from a mold made from the original.

Even though the Federales of old Mexico informed Bogie that they needed no "stinking badges", those of us who spent our early years fascinated with the old west have always had an interest in the tin stars worn by our heroes. The men who kept law and order in Dodge City, Tombstone, Deadwood and other settlements in the wild, wild west will always ride through our memories, raising dust and gunning down the bad guys. We are proud to present this "Heroes of the West" collector badge. The original badges were hand cut from metal and old coins in prisons in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas over one hundred years ago.
