Deputy US Marshal Badge Description (Stock Code: BW-32) Bass Reeves was probably the first African-American to hold a Deputy U.S. Marshals commission. He pinned on the badge for “Hanging Judge” Isaac Parker and the court for the Western District of Arkansas and, for the next 35 years, hunted, captured and killed outlaws in the Oklahoma Territory. Reeves was called “the most feared man in the Nations”. If a prisoner tried to escape or resist arrest, Bass shot him dead. A Marshal faced unimaginable hardships when bringing in prisoners from Indian Territory, endless days of riding through rough country, having to go without sleep, and remaining alert every second for escape attempts. Bringing them in alive was a very risky business. Rather than risk his life, Reeves shot the most troublesome criminals and saved the court the expense of a trial and hanging. He died in 1910. To the last, he was a lawman. The last 2 years of his life, he was a Muskogee policeman. There was no crime on his beat! This reproduction is a full size badge measuring approximately 2 3/4" x 2 1/8".

Dake, U.S. Marshal for Arizona. After Virgil was ambushed and crippled in 1882, it was Dake who appointed Wyatt Earp as a (temporary) Deputy U.S. Marshal, thus giving Wyatt official sanction to apprehend the murderers of brother Morgan. Dake was a key figure, without him the Earps would have had no authority outside Tombstone. This reproduction is a full size badge measuring approximately 3 1/8" from point to point.

In 1881, Cochise County was formed from the eastern part of Pima County, with Tombstone as the county seat. That’s why this unusual County Sheriff’s badge reads “Tombstone”. Behan and the Earps were on opposite sides in the Cochise County War. This reproduction is a full size badge measuring approximately 1 7/8" in diameter.
