Cool Datsun Grill Badge
Recently received an old Datsun grill badge. Pretty cool badge, so I thought I share. It was shipped from the island of Malta.

I may look into getting reproductions made. 
That is really cool and would look good on the front of my 67!

Re: Cool Datsun Grill Badge
I'd be happy to loan out my original badge, so reproductions can be made.
I recall seeing a similar type of grill badge back in the early 90's at a small hobby shop in Stratford-Upon-Avon in the UK.
The original quality of the badge isn't that great. The chrome bezel is actually plastic, not made of metal. It seems like its a generic outer bezel with an inlay emblem in the middle. For reproductions, it may be easier to create new art-work of the inner emblem, and then find a nice generic outer bezel to use.
