Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put our founding date on the map itself like the EST. 1882 on this Mineral Wells design?

Yes. Striking the date directly into the map face — rather than on a separate panel — is a detail this die handles cleanly, and the lettering position shifts to wherever your map has open ground. Any short inscription works: an EST. date, a precinct number, or a unit abbreviation, confirmed on a free proof.

Can the map and seal colors be adjusted for our department?

Yes. The blue enamel map can run navy, black, or your department shade, the seal medallion can carry your own city or state seal in full color, and the star can strike in silver instead of gold. Departments outside Texas swap in their own state outline with the same star-and-seal mount.

What does a badge like this cost?

Estimated pricing runs from about $150 each at low quantities down to roughly $50 each at higher volumes, with no setup fee and no mold fee. The enamel map, full-color seal, and date lettering are all included in that range, confirmed with a free quote.

How long does production take?

Approximately 8 to 14 weeks after proof approval, covering die tooling, striking in solid metal, two-tone plating, the blue enamel and seal fills, and hand-finishing of the scalloped frame and ray field.

Can other ranks wear this same design?

Yes. The OFFICER crown ribbon re-letters to SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT, CHIEF, or any title in your structure, with the MINERAL WELLS band and POLICE banner re-lettered to your own city and agency — all struck from one die so the department set stays uniform.

Do we need credentials to order a badge with a real city name on it?

Yes. Badges bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Fictional or fully customized designs with your own name are welcome without that step.
