This is the type of badge worn by John Wayne in the 1959 western "Rio Bravo", John Wayne portrays the rough and tumble Sheriff of a lawless Texas border town. As Sheriff John T. Chance, Wayne battles the wealthy cattle baron whose brother he is being held in jail for murder. In classic John Wayne form, he and his deputies defeat their foe: the bad guys get their comeuppance, and the good guys live happily ever after.

This replica is a full size badge measuring approximately 3.25 inches from point to point.
