Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order an all-gold eagle-top badge like this Gilmer design?

Yes. This Gilmer Police badge runs entirely in polished gold — eagle, wreaths, banners and seal all struck in the same finish, with black fill only in the lettering. That single-tone treatment can be reproduced exactly, or the same design can be ordered two-tone with silver wreaths and rays.

Can you change the rank banner and agency name on this badge?

Yes. This design is a starting point. The PATROLMAN banner takes any rank — officer, corporal, sergeant, chief — GILMER takes your own agency name, and our artwork team can change the POLICE banner and the TEXAS base panel to your own wording. You receive a free proof before any tooling or production begins.

Can you swap the State of Texas seal for a different seal?

Yes. The black-and-gold seal at the center can be replaced with your own state seal, a municipal seal, or a department emblem, and the flanking laurel sprays can stay or be removed. Our artwork team proofs the change with you before any tooling 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 for a department the size of Gilmer’s, a specialty unit, or replacement 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.

Do I need credentials to order a Gilmer Police badge?

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