Western Sheriff Sign Plaque

Listing ID #1435855

We offer Western Sheriff Sign Plaque. SIGN, painted letters that reads "Sheriff'". The word Sheriff is derived from the Shire-reeve, who was the most powerful English law authority figure, even before 1000 A.D. The Shire-reeve was responsible for both the order of the land within his banded group of 100 families, known as a shire, and the call of the "hue and cry". The hue and cry made every citizen in earshot of the sheriff’s call lawfully obligated to join in a posse-commitatas, or group, which banded to catch criminals.
