Who is copying BSA Tank Badges?
« on: 22.04. 2007 16:12 »
I submitted the following photograph to the BSA Owners' Club a couple of months ago asking if anyone knows what it is.  The badge is an obvious copy of the one used on some of the early 60's BSA's and I just thought that it might be of interest to our forum members.  Any ideas guys?? 

Members of the British BSAOC will have seen the replies in the "Star" so this question is not for you.

Spot on MG....and thanks for the reply.  The photograph was taken in Portugal.

Unfortunately your answer was timed out by about 4 years and your prize has already been drunk. Hic!!

A mate of mine who is brilliant with fibreglassing is looking at making them out of fiberglass and having stickers made to lay over the top if anyone is interested.  He has also started making half tanks formdisplY purposes for mounting on the wall of ones shed or study etc.

Rather than start a new topic on tank badges, and just out of curiosity can anyone identify these Ebay items ??
