Reverse Enamel Eagle Top Shield Badge — Design & Order Style 3-C11RCB
Style 3-C11RCB at a glance
A spread-wing eagle crowns this shield, and every text panel is done in reverse enamel: the letters stay bright metal while the field around them fills with color. Two curved ribbons arc over a seal well wrapped in a laurel wreath, a third ribbon sweeps beneath it, and a raised plate at the base holds the badge number. A reef edge runs around the outline and laurel sprigs fill the shoulders.

About the reverse enamel eagle top shield badge
On a standard badge the lettering is filled with color; here the logic flips, so the characters are left in polished metal and the enamel sits behind them. That high-contrast look reads from across a room and is popular for command staff and dress uniforms. The laurel wreath under the seal well and the reef-edged outline give the shield a formal, traditional frame.
Word the two upper ribbons with a rank and an agency name, use the lower ribbon for a department or division, and put the badge number on the bottom plate. Set the enamel color and plating in the TrueBadge Designer, or request a quote and our art team sends a free artwork proof within 4 hours for you to approve before anything is struck.
