    Best badge company to purchase your badge from. They stand behind their product and can even repair it when it becomes damaged, or they can restore it if it is old and worn. Check them out on the web: http://www.blackinton.com/home/default.aspx

    I ordered a custom badge from them several years ago. It was a beautiful high quality badge!

    Good quality all purpose choice for Police Badges. My only gripe is they are a pain to deal with when trying to order custom work.

    Blackinton badges are excellent quality. My advice though is to spend the little extra money and get HiGlo or RhoGlo. The HiGlo finish is great for years until the laquer coating wears off. But once you polish them, plan on doing it every 3-4 days, but not a big deal. Never dull, Silvo, and Harley Davdson polish all work good to keep them looking good!

    Still one of the highest quality badges around. You get what you pay for and the RhoGlow and Gold colors maintain their luster even under terible abuse. Our custom badge is expensive ($55) and that was after the City paid for the custom dies. But they remain, in my humble opinion, one of the best available.

    I don't know of another badge company that stands behind their custom made product like Blackinton. I've worn them for decades. I've turned them in for refinishing and by the time I got it back you'd think they had built me a new badge. If you KNOW what you want, they can build it and if they build it, they'll stand behind it.

    A proven leader in badge production for years. I have never worn anything but Blackington Badges. I contacted Blackington about refinishing one of my badges I had purchased at a previous department. I am making a shadow box with some items from my career. They refinished it for me for $5.00. All I had to pay was shipping to them and the $5.00 A great company with great products.

    Mine had gotten slightly damaged and they fixed it right up no questions asked and of course no charge. They are by far the best looking badges. It's always nice to have a company stand behind there product.

    I always believed my department's badges were the sharpest of any city around us. I guess I was right because by the time I retired three other local departments used our badges in their departments. I still proudly carry it with me today!
