About OLD WEST BadgesThe term "MARSHAL" refers to the Chief of a Police Force whict operates within city or town limits."SHERIFF" is the chief of a Police Unit which covers a County area, outside the city or town jurisdiction. It is nearly always an elected post. The Sheriff then appoints his own force of deputies.U.S. Marshals have Federal jurisdiction and can cross state borders. In early times, each state or territory had a senior U.S. Marshal, appointed by the President with each new administration. The senior U.S. Marshall appointed and commissioned his own deputies and these were his agents and representatives in the field.
The badges worn by senior U.S. Marshals always read "U.S. Marshal", however deputies often wore badges with this same legend. A deputy's badge did not always bear the term deputy. This was done because deputies represented the U.S. Marshal and because they were in his service.Many times in old photos of lawmen, no badges will be seen. This is because they were instructed to wear their badges in a "inconspicuous" place. This helped give the lawmen the advantage of being able to get up close to a lawbreaker with the element of surprise in their favor.Please see our eBay Store for other listings and BUY with CONFIDENCE!!!Thank you for Viewing and HAPPY SHOPPING!!
