Frequently Asked Questions

Can you give our badge an antique finish like this Pasadena design?

Yes. The antique finish darkens the recesses while polished highlights stay bright on the raised edges, so the eagle feathers, pebble field, and seal gain depth without any enamel color. It works in silver or gold, and you can see the finish level on a free proof before production.

Can the blank ribbon under the eagle carry lettering?

Yes. The ribbon held by the eagle can stay blank as shown or carry a rank, a motto, a badge number, or a founding year. It is struck into the die, so every badge in the order matches.

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 sculpted eagle, engraved seal, and hand-antiqued finish 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, silver plating, the antique finishing, and hand-highlighting of the raised relief.

Can the seal and ribbons be adapted for our department?

Yes. The engraved seal can carry your city or county seal, or switch to full-color enamel, and PASADENA and POLICE re-letter to your own city and agency. The shield can also strike in polished silver, gold, or two-tone from the same die.

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.
