I'm starting chargen for my Lonestar game soon, and I thought it would be cool as a prop for the first few games to have badges for my players. I've looked online and of course I can find the toy kid badges in plastic, and high-end law enforcement/federal style custom metal badges. What I'm looking for is something close to the Lonestar five-pointed-star-in-a-circle/shield thing, if I could pay extra to have the 'Lone Star Security Services' on it that'd be a mega bonus. I can see metal nickel badges that can be custom designed, but they are LEO use and are of course 60-90 bucks a pop.

Anyone know of any places online where you could do something like this? I liked the idea of buying some badge I could put on a leather back and chain for them to wear but it looks like that may be a 500 dollar venture.

Please share your findings   Having a few corp security badges could help me set which corp they are currently infilltrating.   visuals are always  handy

Great idea!

But also take the time to check out if it's legal in your neck of the woods too! Hate to see you land yourself a fine (or worse!!) for a game prop.

I know the law in BC can get sketchy on things like this (cloth badges ok, metal a big no-no, plastic a grey area) falls under "misrepretation of authority" causes in most jurisdictions.
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???
