Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Pima County Sheriff design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for sheriff’s offices and departments nationwide. This six-point star style can be ordered as shown, or the seal, the rank banner, and the county lettering can be changed to your own agency. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you build a two-ring seal like the one on this badge?

Yes. This medallion runs an outer ring with the department and county name and a nested inner ring around the county scene, both filled blue. A two-ring layout gives you room for more lettering around a central image, and we lay both rings out against your actual wording on the proof before any tooling is cut.

Can you reproduce a detailed county scene like the mission here?

Yes. The center of this seal carries the San Xavier del Bac mission with a saguaro and desert landscape in full color, each element recessed and filled individually. We can reproduce a landmark, building, or county scene the same way from artwork you supply. Agencies are responsible for confirming they are authorized to use a given seal on their badges.

How long does production take for a badge like this?

Custom metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering tooling, striking, plating, and finishing. A badge with ornate engraved arms, a two-ring enamel seal, and a full-color center scene sits toward the longer end of that window. Your design is confirmed on a free proof before any tooling is cut.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at single quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The engraved arms, the two enamel rings, and the detailed center scene place a badge like this at the detailed end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Pima County Sheriff name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Pima County Sheriff’s Department — are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. If you change the seal and county name to your own, no credentials are needed.
