The badge retains a warm gold-tone finish with blue enameled lettering and is maker-marked on the reverse LAS&SCO., representing Los Angeles Stamp & Stationery Co., an early Southern California badge manufacturer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Township constable badges such as this were issued to local peace officers responsible for serving warrants, court papers, and maintaining order within their jurisdiction.
