That sounds oke, so mine will be a little less because the mountingscrew is missing. The badge itself looks very nice! The VW badge looks like new. Would look nice on my 55 oval.

Pity that the Christophers does not fit on the dash very well, maybe i will mount it on the speaker grill!

Thanks, now i am sure that this is the real deal and My biggest question was were to put the VW badge!

Thanks

It's a repo and a very crude one Guy, The berries are too large and spaced incorrectly. The number 1 should be above the K.

I picked up another badge following the normal methods of verifying authenticity (ie. dots,rope,legs, stars, baby head etc.) and everything looks right on this one except one thing is different...... I'm sure you all will pick it out in a matter of seconds.....

Personally I don't like the color, but that might my computer's issue. The ring around the center area is too thick. The only thing that REALLY stands out is the hallmark on the reverse. Very interesting anomaly.... Confused

In reality I think the color is correct. My picture kinda washes it out and makes it lighter than it really is. What I noticed though is the inscription on the backside. I almost appears as if it were done seperately because it appears as if it were struck at a different time. It reads Tweersturck Ludenscheid ( I think ludenscheid is a place in Germany)

Hi!
First I opened a wrong thread and now I post it here Embarassed

I recently bought this badge. The seller says it comes from Heissich Oldendorf.
I wonder if it is authentic or not
How to recognize if it is original or replica? year?

(diameter 52 mm = 2.05 inch.)

Reading this thread I think that it's a fake o replica but,... what year? is possible to date it?

Luckily, I don`t paid too much for it

thank you very much

OK
Many thanks
I bought only the badge by a little less than that price

My contribution to that thread...

A few days ago, talking about my 100k badge with a friend of mine, he showed me his. Obviously it's a fake but it has a curios detail that makes it a bit interesting.

Yes, it's a fake, not good, but it don´t conceals Wink

At the left you can read "NADAL": this word means "Christmas" in galego, an special speech from Galicia ( a region in the northwest of Spain) and in the rigth, the date 2001. At down, the shape of a Volkswagen Beetle and the word "Escaravello", also in galego, it means "Beetle". That badge was a present for a meeting by the Escaravello Club of Galicia

Another club had the same idea to edit a badge like that?

Mr.Bubblehead · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 7:25 am Post subject: 200.000 km badges WOW!!!

I am happy like a little child. I just bought these 2 200.000 km badges Cool

These are original ones and very hard to find because there are so few of them existing.
You got these badges if you drove 200.000 km with the bug with the original engine. You can imagine that these were not given out a lot because they stopped producing the 100k and 200k badges in 1961 (correct me if i am wrong). So basicly you had to drive about 20.000 km each year to get this badge (which, i asume, was a lot back in the days, at least in Europe).
And then also with the same engine (which is not impossible;-))

Somewhere here on the samba they are talking about 4 existing sets are known, so mine would be number 5 hihihi. Kidding, i have no idea how many there are still out there, i asume a lot more, but very happy with my rarest of the rare set!

Oh and also bought 2 100K badges that were included in the deal. But i have enough of those now;-) So i think they will be on sale.
The 100k body (VW) badge, does not seem to be 100% original. But it is a nice one!

And Bob (53 oval) helped me out to make sure these are the OG ones! Thanks Bob!!

But stop talking and some pictures
