Desirable Deaf Smith County, Texas, Sheriff Nate Edgin Badge

Deaf Smith County, Texas, was defined and named in 1876 but was not properly organized until 1890, with the town of La Plata as the seat and Hereford being the modern day seat. The county was named after Erastus "Deaf" Smith, a partially deaf scout and soldier who served during the Texas Revolution and was the first person to reach the Alamo after its fall in 1836. The badge is brass and in the form of a six-pointed star with a Texas marked circle at the center and raised banners at the top and bottom marked "NATE EDGIN/SHERIFF" and "DEAF SMITH/CO". The back of the badge has a small maker's mark for C. Stubenbauch of San Antonio, Texas. Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection

ConditionFine, showing an attractively aged patina overall with crisp engraving and markings. The pin on the back of the badge has been reattached. An interesting piece of Texas law enforcement history!
