Description
This metal badge features the Bowie Police Department insignia, serving the city of Bowie, Texas, in Montague County in North Texas near the Red River. It is a two-tone oval badge with a silver ray field and a gold sculpted scene at the center, in place of the seal or star used on most police designs.
Shape & Base: The badge is die-struck as an upright oval with a fluted silver rim and a face cut as a radiating ray field, with fine lines fanning outward from the center. Small gold X-shaped accents sit on the rim at the top, the base and both sides.
Center: A gold scene fills the middle of the oval in full relief. A longhorn steer head stands at the left with its horns sweeping wide, a steam locomotive faces forward at the right with its stack and cowcatcher modelled in the metal, and a jackrabbit sits in front of them on a rocky base. Above the scene, an outline of Texas is filled with the state flag in red, white and blue enamel, and a gold clip-point knife lies diagonally across it.
Ring & Banner Lettering: OFFICER arcs across a gold banner at the top of the oval in black-filled letters, with EST. on the left ribbon end and 1909 on the right. A second gold banner across the lower oval reads BOWIE POLICE in the same fill, and a gold plate at the base carries two blue enamel stars.
Enamel & Tonal Detail: The two-tone split puts every pictorial element in gold against the silver ray field, so the steer, locomotive, rabbit, knife and both banners read as one raised composition. Enamel is limited to the flag colors in the Texas map and the two blue stars at the base, with black fill in the lettering.
Finish Quality: Die-struck in solid metal with two-tone silver and gold plating, hand-finished so the horns, the locomotive detail and the rabbit stay distinct at badge scale and the enamel sits flush inside the map outline. For another two-tone oval with a sculpted relief center, see the Blanco Police badge.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named badges for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order a custom metal badge like the Bowie Police design?
Yes. Owl Badges produces custom die-struck metal badges for police departments, sheriff’s offices, and constable offices nationwide. You can order this two-tone oval style as shown or change the scene, the map and flag, the banner wording, and the founding date to fit your own department. Badges carrying a real agency name require credential verification before production.
What is the minimum order for a police badge like this?
There is a low minimum order. Single badges are available for individual officers, and per-piece pricing drops sharply as quantity rises, which makes larger runs practical for an entire department or a promotion cycle at once.
Can you sculpt a scene from our own history instead of a seal?
Yes. The longhorn, locomotive and jackrabbit on this badge are cut into the die as a single sculpted relief, so they hold their detail at badge scale without any applied pieces. We can model a scene from your own history the same way, whether that is local wildlife, a landmark, industry or a founding-era vehicle, from reference photos you supply.
How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?
Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at a single piece down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee. Final pricing depends on the finished design, size, and quantity, and is confirmed with a free quote.
How long does production take?
Approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, enamel fill, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. A sculpted scene like this one adds die-cutting time up front, since each figure is modelled in depth before the first strike, and the two-tone plating is masked around the gold elements afterward.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Bowie Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Bowie police buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and designs where you substitute your own agency name, are welcome without that step.
