This is a genuine piece of the Wild West Shows - NOT a reproduction. Dating from 1908-1913. Made of brass to the best of my knowledge. Weighs .9 ounces.

Gordon W. Lillie, popularly known as Pawnee Bill, pioneered the role of Oklahoma's Wild West showmen.  From 1888 to 1913 Lillie had his own extravaganzas, billed as "Pawnee Bill's Historic Wild West" and "Pawnee Bill's Great Far East." An astute and sometimes sensational showman, he filled his arena with war-painted Indians, daring rescues, horsemanship, and marksmanship, including that of his wife, sharpshooter May Manning Lillie. Annie Oakley joined his troupe for the 1888 season. Like Buffalo Bill, Lillie took his entourage to Europe. Sometimes he prospered, and sometimes he flirted with financial disaster, but he always survived financial crises. He and Buffalo Bill combined their shows in 1908 as "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Great Far East," an arrangement that lasted until 1913. (Oklahoma Historical Society).
