Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a gold badge with silver ribbons like this Palmer design?

Yes. This is an inverted two-tone: the body plates in gold while the ribbons and raised map take a selective silver finish, the reverse of the usual silver badge with gold accents. Any element can take either metal, and you see the exact split on a free proof before tooling.

Can the raised map at the center be changed?

Yes. The silver Texas map stands in relief above the field, and it can swap to your own state outline, a county shape, or a star. The teal seal on the map can carry your city or county seal in full color, or strike as engraved metal.

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 selective silver plating, raised map, and enamel seal 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, gold plating with selective silver, the seal enamel fill, and hand-finishing across both field textures.

Can other ranks use this design?

Yes. CHIEF on the crown re-letters to OFFICER, SERGEANT, LIEUTENANT, or any title, and PALMER, POLICE, and TX re-letter to your own city, agency, and state. A full command set strikes from one die with only the crown ribbon changing.

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.
