Howdy, Welcome to the Walleringbear blog!

This badge washand cut and made from a 1902 Mexican un peso Silver coin. Back in the old days badges where not mass produced. Legend has it, that the early American law officer would make his own badge from a silver coin.  Usually the Morgan silver dollar or the Mexican 8 Reales. The early Texas Ranger badges were made from the 8 Reales. They were also some times made by blacksmiths and gunsmiths. They were hand made and they were rustic. We follow this tradition to the letter. We make our own stamps just like in the 1800's. Each badge is hand stamped one stamp at a time and made on an oak stump right here in our studio in Fredericksburg, Texas. Each badge is hand cut from a real silver coin. This makes each badge unique with its own character. We try hard to make these replicas look and feel just like it's original counter part. This is a very well made badge. Perfect for you collection or reenactment use. No collection is complete unless it has at least one RLMYERS hand crafted badge in it.  Our customers are unique collectors that treasure fine work and craftsmanship. Yes, we know that RLMYERS badges are a little higher than other reproductions but they are each unique creations just like the folks that collect them.
