Texas Rangers Co. A Peso Back Badge

Texas Rangers Co A Peso Back Badge story inside the box:

The Rangers have a heritage that began with the earliest settlements in Texas and are part of the history of the Old West. 

This early style Texas Ranger badge was actually pressed out of a genuine Mexican Peso which left the coin markings on the back of the badge.

We manufacture our Old West replica badges out of brass and steel.  They are double-stamped then silver plated.   Next, each badge is individually hand finished for a unique antique look.

FREE with every badge: an old-fashioned style Kraft box with a story about the badge inside the lid OR a hang card for peg hook displaying.

Size: approx. 1 5/8" H

What is double-stamped brass?
Why brass instead of pewter?
