"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
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 generally appointed by the Judicial system. So
who out ranks who? A U.S. Marshal has the most sweeping
powers and has the hammer in most jurisdictions.
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. . . ."
