Offered here is a high grade gold Texas Ranger badge with the reverse marked “10k” and inscribed “W.W. KYLE JR.” (No history on the aforementioned individual.) On the front of the badge “TEXAS RANGER” is filled in with blue enamel and hand engraved borders and floral flourishes. This is very fine jeweler made Texas Ranger badge with exceptional quality hand engraving. Texas Rangers have a proud, nearly 200 year history, of being the elite of Texas law enforcement. As America’s oldest state law enforcement agency, the Rangers have taken part in some of the most notable Old West criminal cases, played a role in some of the most critical moments in Texas history and have been the subject of countless books ranging from non-fiction to pulp fiction. To this day the Rangers continue to capture the American imagination. They are, after all, “a legendary symbol of Texas and the American West.” Provenance: The Robert B. “Bob” Berryman Estate Collection

Exceptionally fine, retaining nearly all of the blue enamel.
