Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

Can you mount a star inside a separate lettered ring like this?

Yes. This badge builds a gold star onto a silver outer ring, with the county name on the ring and the rank and seal on the star. A star-on-ring construction gives you a two-tone framed look and room for jurisdiction lettering around the outside, and we confirm the fit of both pieces on your proof.

Can you plate the star and the ring in different metals?

Yes. This badge runs a gold star on a silver ring, but the two-tone split is yours to set: gold on silver, silver on gold, or a single tone throughout. The plating is applied to each element, and we show you the combination on a free proof before any tooling is cut.

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 two-piece badge with a mounted star, engraved arms, ring lettering, and a relief 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 two-piece construction, the engraved arms, and the relief seal place a badge like this 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 Washington County Sheriff name on it?

Yes. Metal badges bearing a real agency name — including the Washington 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.
