Some tarnishing when received
showing where the silver
PLATING was poorly done over the
Brass. Certainly, no where near
as close as the real 1947 Mexican
five peso badge.

I gave my first badge to my brother. I lived in San Antonio Tx. during my Medical Officer training at old Ft Sam.

I bought two of these. Looker pretty good but a bit dull on the finish. Described as being made of steel a little 600 grit wet/dry paper should fix that right up, right? Nope, the badge is made of copper and plated with "steel" and that plating came right off. Magnet test proved the copper base. That one went in the trash. Be aware of the composition of this product. Other than that I am very satisfied with this badge. I will be leaving the one remaining badge as it was received

The badge is exactly as described, right down to the Mexican peso imprint on the reverse side. It was purchased as a birthday gift for my wife. She totally loves it.
Looks like the real thing
I'm sort of a stickler for details. I'm a history buff, and when I do old west gunfights, I want my outfit to look authentic. Maybe a lot of people don't know that the Ranger badges have been made from a Mexican coin, but I do. I was impressed with the detail on this badge. If it passes my inspection, it will pass most people.

That badge looks as about real as it gets. I have to say it is right up there with bubble gum and my first bicycle, lol

I like the authenticity of the badge and the fact it was made out of medal. Maybe it is me, but the badge seemed small in size and perhaps that was the way it was supposed to be worn to keep from being a target in the Wild West but I would have liked it a little larger in size.
An excellent product for a cowboy action shooter! Badge seems to be very well made and looks great with any Ranger impression.
