StarPacker™ is an authorized dealer of V.H. Blackinton® & Co., Inc. In cooperation with Blackinton®, StarPacker™ has developed an exclusive line of "Old West" style Badges. StarPacker™ and Blackinton® have worked together to identify old style badges, tooling and capabilities, to bring the "Old West" enthusiast a selection of high quality badges.

At StarPacker™ our goal is: To make available to the "Old West" shooter and enthusiast, the highest quality and selection of affordable badges.

Some of the badges you will recognize as authentic style late 1800's and early 1900's. Others are B' Western era, and some are custom or fantasy badges. You choose! In many cases, Blackinton® was the original manufacturer and many of the authentic style badges are made as close as possible to the design and lettering of available information for these badges.

Additionally, StarPacker™ works closely with the custom services of Blackinton®. to meet the growing needs of new clubs, organizations, businesses and individuals. We will work with a club or individual to develop designs, prototypes, and finished product utilizing the custom services of Blackinton®. We can develop a single badge or in quantity. A worksheet is available to assist in developing that individual custom badge.

StarPacker™ will continue to research, develop and introduce new standard product line badges. Several badges have been developed since this website was designed. Call or write for descriptions of new badge offerings and StarPacker™ will send you a list and description.

So there you have it! If you don't see what you want from the standard selection, design your own badge.

Regarding the collectors and the collectors market!
Although many of our standard badges are authentic in appearance and quality, we are sensitive to the value of an original production period collectors badge. Therefore, the back of the standard StarPacker Badge is hallmarked, identifying the badges as replicas or restrikes. Additionally, all badges have the more modern Pin & Safety Catch attachment.

Hallmarks:
• V.H.B.
• V.H.B./SPB
• Blackinton®
