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!

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.

These are really cool. I just got one for my collection too. I think they are reproductions, mine came from Malta as well. but I don't care, it's very cool
