About the Maltese cross eagle badge with flags

The Maltese cross is the emblem of the fire service, and this style puts it at the center of an eagle top shield, with flags on either side. The cross can be filled with red enamel, as shown, so it stands out against the plating.

Five panels give room for a title, a number, a department name, a city and a short state code. Design it in the TrueBadge Designer and order online, or request a quote and approve a free proof before production.
