Description
This metal badge features the Freer Police Department insignia, serving the city of Freer, Texas, in Duval County in the South Texas brush country. It is a gold shield badge carrying a complete townscape in struck relief — oil field, ranch, rodeo and highway in one scene — beneath an EST 1925 banner with an enamel Texas flag map, on a chief’s badge numbered 123.
Shape & Base: The badge is die-struck as an upright gold shield with ornate scrollwork at the shoulders and a beaded edge running the full outline. A black enamel arc at the top carries FREER in gold, over a band reading EST and 1925 flanking a small Texas map filled in red, white and blue flag enamel, and a black panel below reads POLICE in gold capitals.
Center: The heart of the shield holds a full townscape in antiqued gold relief. A rodeo rider on a bucking horse works the left side beneath grain silos, an oil derrick towers at center with a pumpjack at the lower left, and a coiled rattlesnake — the star of the town’s famous Rattlesnake Roundup — curls front and center beside a barn.
Scene Detail: On the right, a highway lined with cars and trucks winds toward the horizon under sunrise rays, past a stone wall carrying a WELCOME TO FREER sign, with a bell at the lower right corner closing the scene.
Enamel & Tonal Detail: The Texas flag map and the black banner fields are the badge’s only enamel — the entire townscape reads tonally in antiqued gold, every figure and structure carried by relief and shadow alone.
Rank & Finish Quality: A gold scroll below the scene carries CHIEF in black, and the base panel holds badge number 123 — both are fully customizable to any rank and number. Every element is die-struck for crisp relief and sealed for daily duty wear. For a neighboring South Texas design, see the Falfurrias Police badge from adjacent Brooks County.

🛡 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 badge with a full townscape scene like this Freer design?
Yes. This Freer Police badge carries an entire town in struck relief — rodeo rider, oil derrick, pumpjack, rattlesnake, barn, highway and welcome wall in one scene — and a scene of that density can be reproduced or built fresh from your own town’s landmarks. Detailed vignettes are die-struck from your artwork, so every figure keeps its depth at duty-badge size.
Can you change the rank scroll and badge number on this design?
Yes. The CHIEF scroll and the 123 number panel are fully customizable — any rank wording and any badge number, or a name in place of the number. Our artwork team can also change FREER, the EST 1925 date band, and the POLICE panel to your own agency wording. You receive a free proof before any tooling or production begins.
What is the minimum order for a custom metal badge like this?
Metal badges carry a low minimum order, and per-piece pricing drops as quantity rises. Small runs are welcome — a chief’s badge is often ordered as a single-digit run alongside the department’s officer badges, with sharper pricing at larger quantities.
How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?
Estimated pricing ranges from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes. There is no setup fee and no mold fee. Final pricing depends on the size, plating, and quantity, and is confirmed with a free quote.
How long does production take for a badge with this much scene detail?
Custom die-struck metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, plating, enamel fill, and finishing after your proof is approved. The townscape is cut into the die during tooling, so the detail adds no extra lead time. Your design is confirmed before production starts.
Do I need credentials to order a Freer Police badge?
Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name such as the Freer Police Department are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production. Custom or renamed designs for your own department are welcome without that step.
