Reverse Enamel Eagle Top Badge with Star Center — Design & Order Style 3-D1RCMB
Style 3-D1RCMB at a glance
In reverse enamel the color fills the panel fields and the lettering stays bright metal, which gives this eagle top shield a bold, high-contrast look. A five point star with ball tips sits on a sunburst background, and five short panels run between its points around the seal. Two long ribbons, one above the star and one below, carry a rank and a number, and a small tab at the very bottom finishes the layout.

About the reverse enamel star center badge
Most star-center shields put the department name on a single ring. This one splits the lettering into five 14-character segments between the star points, so a two- or three-word city name and department line wrap evenly around the seal. The reverse enamel treatment keeps every one of those segments crisp, with metal letters on a colored field.
The two 36-character ribbons handle rank and badge number, and the 12-character tab under them suits a state abbreviation or unit code. Build it in the TrueBadge Designer to see your reverse enamel price for any quantity, or request a quote and approve a free proof first.
