Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order an eagle-top shield badge like this George West design?

Yes. This George West Police badge is crowned by a spread eagle with its wings fully extended across the top of the shield, and that classic eagle-top format can be reproduced exactly or adapted for your own agency. The feather rows are cut into the die during tooling, so the crest keeps its definition at duty-badge size.

Can you change the banners and seal on this badge?

Yes. This design is a starting point. The POLICE OFFICER banner takes any rank, GEORGE WEST takes your own agency name, and our artwork team can swap the State of Texas seal for your state or municipal seal, adjust the POLICE banner, and finish the badge in silver as shown or gold or two-tone. You receive a free proof before any tooling or production begins.

Can the blank panel at the base be personalized?

Yes. The blank silver panel below the POLICE banner is made for personalization — an officer name, a badge number, or a unit designation, struck or engraved. Departments often order a single die with individual panels varied across the run.

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, with a low minimum order on every design.

How long does production take for a metal badge?

Custom die-struck metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks for tooling, striking, plating, and finishing after your proof is approved. Individual name or number personalization is applied during finishing and adds no extra lead time. Your design is confirmed before production starts.

Do I need credentials to order a George West Police badge?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name such as the George West 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.
