About the engraved ball tip star badge
This is a straightforward sheriff-style star: no ribbons, no number box, just the star, the seal and two lines of lettering. The engraved points and ball tips give the metal texture, while the thick line around the ring keeps the lettering crisp in any plating.
Word the top arc with a rank or title and the bottom arc with an agency name, then upload a seal. Order in the TrueBadge Designer at the live tiered price, or send a quote request and approve your free artwork proof before striking.
