Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Bridgeport 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 inside the star, the banner wording, the founding date, and the flags 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 the stagecoach scene inside the star be changed?

Yes. The stagecoach and horses on this badge are cut into a pebbled disc set inside the star, so the scene has its own ground and reads clearly at badge scale. We can put a different scene, a seal, or a plain star on that disc, or carry the disc across to another shape if you prefer a shield or a circle.

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. The stagecoach relief and the pebbled disc are cut into the die first, and the two-tone plating is masked so the gold star holds a clean edge around the silver scene.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Bridgeport Police name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Bridgeport 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.
