Frequently Asked Questions

Can you trace the Texas map in a second metal like this Santa Fe badge?

Yes. An outlined map is struck with a raised border that can be plated in a contrasting metal, so a silver map carries a gold edge as shown, or a gold map a silver one. It defines the state shape without enamel, and you approve the border on a free proof before tooling.

Can the seal at the center of the map be changed?

Yes. The center disc can hold the state seal as shown, a city emblem, a badge number, or a star. The black enamel field can also be filled in blue or red.

What does a badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The laurel rim, gold-edged map, seal enamel, and scrolls are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, two-tone plating, the black enamel fills, and hand-finishing of the laurel and map edge.

Can the TX tab carry a badge number instead?

Yes. The base tab can hold an individual badge number, a rank, or a unit name, and the POLICE OFFICER ribbon re-letters to SERGEANT, CHIEF, or any title. CITY OF SANTA FE re-letters to your own city.

Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
