Unique & Highly Important Nome Alaska Police Badge & Archive. Collection of photographs, newspaper clippings, and, drum roll please, possibly the earliest known police badge from Nome, owned by famous western lawman, six foot four inch Joel "Joe" Warren. Joe Warren was chief of police in Nome in the summer of 1900 when they arrested Wyatt Earp for being involved in a brawl in front of the Dexter saloon. Wyatt Earp had hoped to become Nome’s deputy marshal, but was not given the job. One of the sexiest pieces of old west memorabilia is the lawman's badge! The problem with collecting them is that, because they are so desired, they have been faked for decades. Rarely does an early Alaska lawman's badge come onto the market with impeccable provenance. The badge measures about 2 5/8 inches across the points. [shelf locator: Ephemera Notebook: Seward Peninsula] $24,500.00 plus $25.00 postage and insurance for this archive.
