"We don't need no stinkin' Badges!!"
Was yelled back at Humphrey Bogarts character, by a Mexican Bandito, in the classic movie,
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. But in the Old West of the last part of the 19th century a Ranger, Marshal, Sheriff, or Agent Badge was a much sought after office. With the badge went the job, and if you had the stomach to enforce the law - it was a fairly good paying job compared to many on the western frontier.We've got a collection of over 40 badges that are exact replicas of the very same badges made famous by the Earp Brothers, Wild Bill Hickok, Pat Garrett and many other lesser known individuals. And now you can have one too.
What Clients say. "Hello, I just want to let you know, that the Badge I ordered has made it´s way to Germany! Today it arrived safely here in Dortmund! Thank you very much for the excellent service!" - All the best - Uwe Günther
Stinkin' Badge
It all started with the classic movie from the 1930s - "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and then in the 1970s it was spoofed in the Mel Brook's movie "Blazing Saddles". Now a days it's heard regularly on TV Dramas and sitcoms, like Friends. High quality replica badge. Comes in gift box with story card.

What is the difference between a Marshal and a Sheriff?
A sheriff is responsible for a town, and it's immediate area, a Marshal was responsible for a county or larger. Sheriff's are elected by the town or county, and Marshal's are appointed by the Judicial system. So who out ranks who? A U.S. Marshal has more sweeping powers than a Sheriff, but jurisdiction always enters into it. That's why Sheriff Johnie Behan thought he had the jurisdiction to arrest Wyatt Earp, after Earp and his boys had exacted some revenge for the murder of his brother Morgan and the crippling of Virgil by bushwackers. Behan was a known sympathizer of the "Cowboys" led by Ike Clanton, and this is how an exchange with Earp went, as reported by an eye witness.Behan, "Wyatt I want to see you. . . ."
"Behan, if yer not careful," Earp replied, "you'll see me once too often. . . ."

Longfellow researched the designs based on historical photos and original mail order catalogues from the late 1800's and the early decades of the 20th Century. Of particular help was the Smithsonian Website, the Library, and the archives of the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. And of course those great Hollywood Westerns.
