47-50 Tank Badges.

#1

Post by shovelnik »

I know that the right side badges have Fox Inc - Cincinatti on the back, but I can't find a left hand badge with the same marks. The set I have does have an abbreviated making of 'CINT O' between the top and bottom letter A in Harley Davidson. The bar in the speed ball does have the longer bar. They have been rechromed so I cant go by the lettering color.

Thanks
Nick

Look at the Y and N, see the difference ?

The side-by-side comparison here is impressive. The lettering on the original knuckle badge is so much more defined: the corners are squared and the whole thing has, to me, a kind of art deco appearance. The repop letters are more rounded and less defined.
