Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom metal badge like the Giles County Sheriff design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces die-struck metal badges for sheriff’s offices nationwide. This six-point star style can be ordered as shown, or the seal and the four lettering zones can be changed to your own county, state, and rank. There is no setup fee and no mold fee.

Can you make a six-point star badge instead of a five- or seven-point?

Yes. Six-point stars with ball-tipped points are a traditional sheriff shape across much of the South and Midwest, and we tool them the same way as five- and seven-point stars. The point count, the ball finials, the pebbled arm fill, and the beaded border are all part of the die and can each be adjusted.

Can you reproduce a state seal like the Tennessee seal on this badge?

Yes. The medallion here carries the Tennessee seal in full color, with the ring band in enamel and the plow, wheat, and riverboat struck as raised gold. We can reproduce a state, county, or municipal seal the same way from artwork you supply. Agencies are responsible for confirming they are authorized to use a given state seal on their badges.

How long does production take for a badge like this?

Custom metal badges take approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering tooling, striking, plating, and finishing. A badge with a textured arm fill, four lettering zones, and a full-color seal sits toward the longer end of that window. Your design is confirmed on a free proof before any tooling is cut.

How much does a custom metal badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at single quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The struck texture and the number of enamel zones on a badge like this place it at the detailed end of the range. Final pricing is confirmed with a free quote.

Do I need credentials to order a badge with the Giles County Sheriff name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Giles County Sheriff’s Office — are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives, and require proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter. If you change the seal and county name to your own, no credentials are needed.
