Description
This metal badge features the Buda Police Department insignia, serving the city of Buda, Texas, in Hays County just south of Austin. It is a shield badge struck in polished silver, built around a wide blue enamel ring reading STATE OF TEXAS with a spread-wing eagle behind it and waving enamel flags at both sides.
Shape & Base: The badge is die-struck as an upright shield with a peaked top, a small blue enamel star set at the apex, and a smooth polished face. A spray of oak and laurel leaves fills the lower shield in relief, and a raised banner crosses the base beneath it.
Center: A silver eagle with wings spread wide and head turned to the left sits across the upper shield, and in front of it a wide blue enamel ring carries STATE OF above and TEXAS below in silver letters. Inside the ring, a silver disc holds a five-point star within a laurel wreath, struck in tonal relief with no enamel.
Ring & Banner Lettering: CITY OF BUDA crosses the raised banner beneath the peak in black-filled letters, and POLICE DEPARTMENT crosses the banner at the base in the same fill. The seal ring lettering is the only text on the piece that is not black-filled, reading as bright silver against the blue.
Enamel & Tonal Detail: The United States flag and the Texas flag stand off both sides of the shield as fully modelled waving flags in red, white and blue enamel, with the folds struck into the metal rather than set flat as panels. Blue enamel fills the seal ring and the apex star, and the eagle, seal disc and leaf spray stay bright silver.
Finish Quality: Die-struck in solid metal with a polished silver plating, hand-finished so the eagle feathers and leaf spray stay crisp and the flag folds hold their color. For the sheriff’s office serving the same county, see the Hays County Sheriff 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 Buda 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 silver shield style as shown or change the seal ring, the flags, the banner wording, and the plating 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 this silver badge be made in gold, or as a two-tone?
Yes. This badge is plated in polished silver rather than gold, which is common for officer ranks and for departments that reserve gold for command staff. We can strike this design in polished gold, run it two-tone with a gold eagle or gold banners on the silver body, or supply both finishes from the same die for different ranks.
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 raised flags are the slow part, since each fold has to hold its shape through striking and the enamel has to follow the contour without pooling.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Buda Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Buda 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.
