REGULATOR U.S. Badge story inside the box:
Regulators played a crucial role in maintaining law and order in the lawless Old West. While they were often deputized to help with specific threats, they also took it upon themselves to fill in the gaps where the law couldn't or wouldn't reach. They were often seen as heroes by law-abiding citizens, who viewed them as a necessary step to bring order to chaotic and violent towns. However, some Regulators went beyond their authority, using their power to mask their own criminal intentions or to wreak havoc on their enemies.
Famous Regulators included Billy the Kid, Frank McNab, and Henry Newton Brown.

Can I customize any badge?
No, the way you see the badge in the picture is how the badge is and it cannot be changed. We do offer a line of badges that are blank for customization. These badges can be engraved with your personal text or images but the badge design itself cannot be changed.
What is “Double-Stamped” Brass?
A badge that is stamped out of brass first has a mold or die created for each side of the design. Next a block of brass is placed between the molds and the design is "double stamped" simultaneously on both sides using many tons of pressure. This process pushes and presses the brass up and out to form the badge.
Why Brass instead of Pewter?
Brass is stronger and more durable than pewter. Brass is an alloy metal of copper and zinc. Pewter is an alloy metal of primarily tin. Tin is a relatively soft metal and because of this pewter can scratch and bend easily.
