Description
This metal badge features the Elgin Police Department insignia, serving the city of Elgin, Texas, in Bastrop County east of Austin. It is an oval badge struck in polished gold with a laurel border and sunburst field, built around a gold star inside a laurel wreath with a blue enamel Texas map at its heart, and no state seal on the piece.
Shape & Base: The badge is die-struck as an upright oval, framed by a laurel-wreath border that runs the full circumference in the same polished gold as the face. Inside the border, the field is cut as a radiating sunburst with fine lines fanning outward from behind the star, and a plate closes the base beneath the lower banner.
Center: A gold five-point star sits at the heart of the oval with beveled arms, framed by a second laurel wreath that curves up both sides of the star and meets beneath it. Set into the center of the star is an outline of Texas filled with blue enamel, with no seal, disc or lettering around it.
Ring & Banner Lettering: POLICE OFFICER arcs across a raised banner at the top of the oval in large black-filled letters, with the banner ends folding down at each side. A second banner across the lower oval reads ELGIN POLICE in the same fill, and the plate at the base carries the number 697.
Enamel & Tonal Detail: Blue enamel in the map is the only bright color on the badge. The rim wreath, the sunburst, the star, the inner wreath and the banners are all polished gold, with black fill in the two banners and the plate as the only other color.
Finish Quality: Die-struck in solid metal with a polished gold plating, hand-finished so the leaves on both wreaths stay distinct, the star bevels catch the light and the enamel sits flush inside the map outline. For another city police department in the same county, see the Bastrop 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 Elgin 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 laurel-bordered gold oval as shown or change the map, the wreath, the rank banner, the department 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 the map inside the star be changed to a seal?
Yes. This badge carries two laurel wreaths, one around the rim and a second framing the star, with a blue enamel Texas map in place of a seal at the center. We can fill the map in a different color, swap it for a state seal or city emblem, or drop the inner wreath and let the star stand on the sunburst 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 one small enamel area, the fill stage is short, and the time goes into the two wreaths, which are cut into the die before the first strike.
Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Elgin Police name on it?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Elgin 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.
