Marshal badge, Vintage, Brass -Reenactor or Costume

This is a vintage-style U.S. Marshal badge made of brass with a nice aged patina and solid construction. It’s a six-pointed star, roughly 4-1/2 inches across, with “UNITED STATES MARSHAL” deeply stamped into the front along with simple floral-style corner decorations and a scroll flourish beneath the text. Though not an official issue, the quality suggests it was likely made for reenacting, prop use, or souvenir purposes, rather than as a costume toy.

Badges like this were often produced in the mid to late 20th century for collectors, Western reenactors, or souvenir shops in historic towns. This one doesn’t have a maker’s mark, but similar pieces have come from companies like INDIAN TRADER, Tuffy, or S&R in the 1970s–1990s, often sold in museum gift shops or living history sites.
