Had the TR version of this and loved it...this is a nicely detailed rendition, presuming S&L, late..?

Agree with Nils, not late, but earlier!!!
Always scarce this type of badge and earlier even more so!
Solid hingeblock and thin catch make it pre '68!!

A great badge and scarce to find an early one, if not impossible on the open market....they always seem to be late versions, like Auxillary Cruiser badges !
Prost ! Steve.

Never seen an early one for sale any where Verynice ! Tom

Thanks to all....really appreciate the feedback...and realizing my early purchasing of many of these has proved to be a prudent decision...
