Unknown badge.

Hi all. Need a bit of a hand. I have been given a Land Rover tin badge and wanted to know what it was off and how much it's worth. As I currently can't put pictures on here as I can't work out how, I can send you to gumtree and you can see it. Type in Land Rover badge and I'm in new Norfolk Tasmania and you can see the badge. Thanks heaps if you help and hope to hear from you soon.

Is this the pic?

The photo is of the back of the badge , it looks like later S1 badge the pressed type.

Yes that's the badge. There are two pics. One is the back and the other is the front. So it's a series one. What's the value? I was going to accept an offer and I thought I'd better make sure it's not a valuable one. That would be the story of my life. Thanks guys.

There are several variants of these, differing in the small print. Most Series Landrovers had one front and one rear. None are particularly rare or valuable, although ones from non-Australian or UK assembly operations would be rare here, they would also not really be in demand.

Thanks john. Your a champ. I've had an offer and will accept. Thanks to all for your replies. What a great club for helping each other!

Just to amplify my reply for those referring to this thread in future - very early 80" Landrovers had a cast badge - and this is rare and comparatively valuable, although modern reproductions probably put a lid on the price.

As JD said early badges were cast around 5 inches long. Some of the first were brass then changed to aluminium castings.
Around mid 1950 they changed to a stamped aluminium badge just over 7 inches long. These had Land Rover in large letters and were also marked
Birmingham England.
Later Series two and three badges were also the 7 inch one but were only stamped Land Rover, without the Birmingham England on them.
The Birmingham badge might be more collectable than the latter.
There was also one marked Solihull Warwickshire England but I dont have one of those and not sure of the time frame. Probably series two before they removed the place name altogether.
There is no difference between a front and rear badge.
Early cast badges had paint colour differences. very early were red rim and letters, later ones yellow.

Just looked at the photo of the back of your badge. Cant see the Birmingham England stamp so its not a series one then.

I have owned and still do own quite a few Land Rovers, my daily driver is a October 1984 Isuzu County, it has no metal badges, the front has a sticker which reads "Land Rover 110" on the rear left side it also has another sticker oval in shape black background with the Land Rover logo, the Series 3 had the words "Land Rover" on the grill (plastic) no other badge on the front.
In the image I have placed different L/R badges starting with the Series 3 grill, the badge at the top is a rear one from a Series 3, the next one down is off later S2A' note it has a different style of lettering and states Rover Australia, the badge below that is also a Rover Australia that was fitted to S2/2A (early) assembled in Aust, the next one states Solihull, later Series 1 early S2, the next one states Birmingham Series 1's after some time in the early 1950's the small one at the bottom is early Series 1's, I don't know everything but the only Brass badges I have seen (and I have 2 of them) are casting made in the last 20 years or so, I wouldn't have a clue what the 90 or Puma's have on them, cheers dennis

Hello from Brisbane.

An earlier post got it right - rear badge from a (very likely) locally assembled Series 3 - no script identifying where it was made.

To the question above, the front badge is a large plastic one attached to the plastic grille - part of the moulding.

Cheers,

I read some were once , Rover has the distintion of having the most number of different car badges of any manufacture.[bighmmm]
Even in the Rover cars they seamed to have changed the badges every couple of years , most with Viking ship but with different colours & some with just the out lind drawn.
