On October 18, 1994, the USPS issued a set of 20 stamps called Legends of the West. This stamp is one of those and honors legendary gunfighter, lawman and newspapaperman.....Bat Masterson. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (in this case, Laramie, Wyoming) on the first day of issue captioned above. In short, it's the 'birthday' of the stamp - a collectible, historic piece of postal and Western memorabilia.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) shows a portrait of Masterson including his badge from Custer County, Montana, and two photos.
Double Matted in blue "denim" & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY INCLUDED plus a short blurb on Bat Masterson***
