ARIZONA RANGERS TERRITORIAL STAR BADGE
Click on the pic for a larger view.
Here is one of the novelty territorial star badges made for the Arizona Rangers.
This measures 3 1/16 inches across. It was made by a well known badge company, though I am unsure when it was made.
Unlike most of the badges that strongly resemble this one, using these 3 words on it, this badge does not say STERLING on the back. A different company made sterling star badges that look very much like this badge. I am unsure what metal this badge was made from, but it wasn't at all tarnished when I got it, likely many years after it was made. Its surface is so shiny it looks almost like a mirror finish - makes it a bit tough to photograph.
That other sterling silver badge has no pin on the back - this one has a large, regular badge pin.
I have many other Arizona Ranger items in my Flickr album, Arizona Rangers, and a link to this album is somewhere on this page.
