5 Point Star Badge with Top Ribbon and Seal Ring — Design & Order Style 14-J1ILCMB
Style 14-J1ILCMB at a glance
A smooth-sided 5 point star with a curved ribbon across the upper points and a wide round ring in the center. The ring carries two arcs of lettering split by small stars, and the seal inside it fills about 36% of the face. There is no texture on the points, so the plating shows as clean, polished metal.

About the 5 point star badge with ribbon
Big-city departments have worn the 5 point star with a ribbon for generations, and this style keeps that layout: the rank rides on the ribbon above, while the ring below holds the department and city. The smooth points keep the look plain and strong, and the large seal ring gives a detailed city or county seal plenty of room.
