    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.

    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.

    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.
