Territorial Rangers Badge story inside the box: The Arizona Territorial Rangers were formed in April 1860 by the Provisional Governor Dr. Lewis S. Owings with James Henry Tevis as their first Captain. The first Headquarters was in Piños Altos.
When Arizona joined the Confederacy, the men that formed the Arizona Rangers joined the Confederate Army, disbanding the rangers (for the first time). By the 1880’s Indian problems and border crimes made Arizona an undesirable place to live. The men were asked to join together again working on little or no funds to provide protection. It took until 1901 for a legislative act to approve the organization of the Arizona Rangers and provide funding. The act lasted until 1909 when a bill was created to abolish them.

Can I customize any badge?
No, the way you see the badge in the picture is how the badge is and it cannot be changed. We do offer a line of badges that are blank for customization. These badges can be engraved with your personal text or images in the designated engraving areas only.
What is “Double-Stamped” Brass?
A badge that is stamped out of brass first has a mold or die created for each side of the design. Next a block of brass is placed between the molds and the design is "double stamped" simultaneously on both sides using many tons of pressure. This process pushes and presses the brass up and out to form the badge.
Why Brass instead of Pewter?
Brass is stronger and more durable than pewter. Brass is an alloy metal of copper and zinc. Pewter is an alloy metal of primarily tin. Tin is a relatively soft metal and because of this pewter can scratch and bend easily.
