Description
This metal badge features the Dalhart Police Department insignia, serving the city of Dalhart, Texas, in the northwest Panhandle, where the city straddles the line between Dallam and Hartley Counties. It is an oval badge struck in polished silver, built around a black enamel disc carrying a silver star and the department name, beneath a spread-wing eagle, with no state seal on the piece.
Shape & Base: The badge is die-struck as an upright oval with a lined rim running the full circumference, small X-shaped accents at the top and sides, and a face cut as a radiating sunburst with fine lines fanning outward from behind the disc.
Center: A round disc filled with black enamel sits at the heart of the oval, and a silver ring around it carries the lettering. Inside, a silver five-point star sits on a smaller silver disc with a rope-twist edge, struck in relief with no enamel. Above the disc, a silver eagle with spread wings and head turned to the left sits beneath the top banner.
Ring & Banner Lettering: OFFICER arcs across a raised silver banner at the top of the oval in black-filled letters. A second banner beneath the eagle reads EST. 1902, the ring on the disc reads POLICE across its top and DALHART, TX across its base in silver letters against the black, and a small black star sits at the base of the oval.
Enamel & Tonal Detail: Black enamel fills the center disc and the small star at the base, and it is the only enamel on the badge. The eagle, the star, the banners, the ring and the sunburst are all polished silver, with black fill in the two banners as the only other color.
Finish Quality: Die-struck in solid metal with a polished silver plating, hand-finished so the eagle feathers stay crisp, the star bevels catch the light against the black and the ring lettering reads cleanly. For the sheriff’s office serving Dallam County, see the Dallam 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 Dalhart 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 oval style as shown or change the disc lettering, the eagle, the founding date, 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 the disc carry a seal instead of a plain star?
Yes. This badge puts the department name on the ring of the center disc rather than on a banner, and uses a plain star instead of a state seal inside it. We can strike your own wording into the ring, put a seal, map or emblem in place of the star, or move the name back onto a banner and use the disc for the seal alone.
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. With black as the only enamel color, the fill stage runs in a single pass, and the time goes into the eagle relief and the sunburst, both cut into the die before the first strike.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Dalhart Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Dalhart 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.
