  Photoproduction of $ K\Sigma^{*}(1385)$ on the nucleon is investigated within
the Regge framework and the reaction mechanism is analyzed based on the data
existing in the channels $\gamma p\to K^+\Sigma^{*0}$ and $\gamma n\to
K^+\Sigma^{*-}$. The Reggeization of the $t$-channel meson exchanges
$K(494)+K^*(892)+K_2^*(1430)$ is employed to construct the photoproduction
amplitude. The Rarita-Schwinger formalism is applied for the spin-3/2$^+$
strangeness-baryon $\Sigma^*$ with a special gauge prescription utilized for
the convergence of these reaction processes. Within a set of coupling constants
determined from the symmetry arguement for the $K$ and $K^*$ and from the
duality and vector dominance for the $K_2^*$, the data of the both processes
are reproduced to a good degree. The production mechanism of these processes
are featured by the dominance of the contact term plus the $K$ exchange with
the role of the $K_2^*$ following rather than the $K^*$.
