If you could find some military insigna fonts, Carrara (often free on magazine cover discs) has a text tool which creates meshes. Type something in, select the object, reduce the depth and export as .OBJ.

As these are just one colour, you shouldn't need to UVmap them. But if you do, a quick box in the free version of UVmapper will do the trick.Either way Import that mesh into Poser, rescale and just apply a golden or silver reflective map. Now save the object as a prop.
 
Not every font works and properly built meshes (like those made by Panko) will always be better, but it can work.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
