 Shown in this photograph is Jelly's actual Oklahoma City Police Department identification card from 1932!
The S&W .44 Special revolver is the same type and model as his famous "Lucky Gun", but with no engraving and MOP grips. (The grips are period correct, but were apparently for a left-handed shooter as the steer head is on the left panel. Right panel matches but is smooth.) The badge, handcuffs and tie pin are also period correct but have no confirmed connection to D.A "Jelly" Bryce. The ID is a treasured gift given to me by Jelly's Grandson, David.

Saber Press Pre-Spring Book Promotion! Help chase away the Winter Blues! Read JELLY BRYCE: The Legend Begins for FREE on Kindle Now! As seen on the AHC series, AMERICAN LAWMEN! This special offer runs from March 10-14, 2019 The JELLY BRYCE Trilogy by Mike Conti has been widely praised since the first volume, The Legend Begins, was released in 2014. Awarded two Global Ebook Awards for Contemporary Historical Literature Fiction, the Trilogy tells the fascinating life story of one of the most iconic members of US law enforcement, Delf "Jelly" Bryce. Though historical fiction, the story is based on what is known and believed about Bryce's life—a life shrouded in mystery. Beginning with his birth in the wilds of Indian Territory (later Oklahoma), the Trilogy follows Bryce through his years serving as a detective with the Oklahoma City Police Department, then as a special agent in J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, and concludes with his death in 1974. Written in a way that puts the reader into the mind of Jelly Bryce, the Trilogy allows you the unique experience of seeing the world through his eyes. Bryce, one of the deadliest lawmen to ever carry a badge, was so extraordinarily fast and efficient with a gun that his shooting feats became the subject of study and enduring legend.
