Westward expansion in the U.S. brought about a new breed of outlaw. As necessary, then, it brought about a new type of lawman. Epic showdowns between sheriffs and outlaws are numerous. Sheriffs, marshals and rangers alike were all identifiable by the badges they wore. A badge said, "I am the law." At Replica Weaponry, you can get replica badges of the Old West created to authentic specifications, with a copper base and further plated in zinc, then silver.
