"Six-pointed star badges abound, but the design was never used by the Texas Rangers. The badges on the left are among the older fantasy badges and have been used extensively in posters, postcards and art. They have been sold over the Internet as “1800s” badges despite 1960s design features."

To my eye, this does not look like an authentic badge. Did find this guy who might be able to confirm that.
