Next time you are suiting up in your old western sheriff costume, be sure you pin this Wild West Sheriff Badge on before you ride out.
And if the bad dudes didn't pay attention to a sheriff's authority, that's when things got nasty! But, if a new gang rode into town, and back-up could be a couple days away, a good lawman may not have been able to afford strictly following the laws they swore to uphold. In the Wild West, sometimes the only difference between a town sheriff and an outlaw was that one carried a badge and a gun, and the other just carried a gun!. You'll want to make sure to bring along a toy six-shooter or two, just in case the badge doesn't work at first.
