Gunsmoke U.S. Deputy Marshal Badge story in the box:
Dodge City, Kansas once had a reputation for being the most wicked town in the Wild West. This lawless, gunslinging town was the setting for the long running radio and TV series Gunsmoke. Gunsmoke was one of the earliest “adult westerns,” centering around the exploits of Marshal Matt Dillon as he dealt with the problems associated with frontier life. The TV show made use of this historic US Deputy Marshal shield for their deputies; the most recognizable being Festus Haggen and Newly O'Brien.

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.
