He was the sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico, as well as Doña Ana County, New Mexico. Prior to becoming a lawman, Garrett was a bartender at Beaver Smith’s saloon in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. It was at the saloon that Garrett met and often gambled with William Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid. Many badges were custom-made by local jewelers or metalworkers, often reflecting the specific needs and designs of the local law enforcement agencies. Two notable events that occurred in the Old West of 1853 include the creation of the Washington territory and the Gadsden Purchase Treaty where The United States and Mexico agree to transferring portions of southern Arizona and New Mexico to the U.S. This custom coin pin features an 1853 Silver QUAR.DOL.
