        Fantastic find. S.L.Co. ? Salt Lake County? It's got an first half twentieth century look to me. Very cool western artifact.

            Hay Sombore. I am also a Museum Curator. Sometimes I spend many hours researching donated items to the museum. Pictured is something very close in shape and material to your shield. Both are a stamped brass shield of approximate same years 1890 to 1920s. If you look closely at the shape they match pretty well with a slight degree of difference. I spent some time chasing this and I believe you have a very rare and valuable piece of American History. Oh and it was a pleasurer looking. Kim
