Hello rockinbbar,

Thanks for the reply.

According to Stan Benjamin's book "Tombstone Lawmen" under the chapter "Badges of Tombstone" (pages 40 - 43) there are no less than 18 badges depicting a 5 point star, (with & without a surround circle) dating back as early as 1880, This same motif is in current use today. https://www.cityoftombstoneaz.gov/marshals-office/

You never pay too much for something, you only buy it too early.
