Excuse my stupidity, but what was the original purpose for these? did they just give em out when you got to 100,000 k or was this a used car ploy or what?

Your second badge (St. Christopher) looks to be a good one. It is the 1st stamping with the small head on the Christ child. The finish is also consistent with the early badge. I like it.

Anyone have a picture of one mounted on the front quarter panel? Thanks

THE SEQUOIAN special edition squareback from Malick Motors in Visalia, CA. It had every accessory available on it! I have two Malick Motors license plate frames on it now.

Thanks for the picture. Was wondering if someone has a picture of one on their beetle. Was wanting to see how low they were originally mounted on the front quarter panel.

davek67 · Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 5:02 am Post subject: Real and how much ;-)

I took this out of my '63 split and seeing as I don't have it any longer thought I'd sell it and use the cash for more bits for my current van

I'm guessing it's real - any idea of a value - I was told the screws are original?

I don't know how to tell if it's real or the current value but I am interested in it if it's real to replace my fake one.

I looked at some old ads on the site and see a couple that say they are real for $80 and $100 but they are not recent ads.

I have the same set like karmanniak.
But i dont belive that the VW Badge shows a repro.
I bought this badges from a very old man and i dont think he lied to me.
Is it possible they are two producer ?

Sorry for the bad english Very Happy

Hello assesories gurus Smile

I got a 100000km badge today, I'm not sure if its real or not.
It look old with the "patina", and the heads are much more detailed than my other 100000km badge. And it's reallöner thin.

I also have these badges, but I'm pretty sure they are fake Smile

Bit of a thread resurrection again.... sorry...
But has anybody come across a 100,000 MILES badge?

Im fairly certain this is not a genuine VW badge (or could it just be more modern?).
It came with my '56 oval bug that was orginally Australian but imported to the UK many moons ago, so probably hit 100,000 miles relatively recently (in the last 30-40 years), in the UK.
anybody got any information please?
cheers

Were cars in the American market given any badges when they reached the 100000 Km equivalent of about 62000 miles?

Joshua B · Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2017 12:18 pm Post subject: Re: 100K Badges

Yeah, I have never seen anything in miles either. I was wondering if VW possibly gave US customers the 100k badges as well when they reached the equivalent or if US dealers just didn't participate in the program. Would be curious to see if any of the few US cars had received anything.
