Always love seeing these early LE pics. Especially the ones wearing the cross draw or what we used to call the "suicide" holster. Those fellows spent a good bit of their salary to get that "uniform" look. Doubt that there was much in the way of a uniform allowance back then.

The "real" Buffalo Bill used these as advanced billing & advertising that his Wild West show was coming to town. It was used on everything from banners around town to handbills.

HaHa! Click...save! Thanks Jake! I would use that as my avatar but it would be too small for any detail.

But you have it wrong...I have information but no wealth!

And that's why I'm on this thread & trying to stay off the expert threads.

Jake, I don't know if you've gone back far enough, but I posted some pics and info of Pistol Pete who looks as if he may have been the inspiration for Yosimite Sam. At seventeen a Federal Marshall. Originally from CT of all places.

I think he looks more like "Hippie Tom" Cerny:

Or vice versa.

For the first couple decades of its existence my alma mater had to have this designation. This was from around 1917.
