Fairlady Griffen metal badge.

Post by Nissanman »

Bought this off ebay recently, only just received it.

Made in India and sold by " autogrillbadges".

Looks great, quality is fine, nice heavy stainless steel badge with enamel emblem.
Remains to be seen how it stands up to the weather.
Anyhoo, thought I'd share since it wasn't that expensive :)
Nissanman, just trying to help.

I picked one up in Solvang last year for about the same money IIRC. The weight of it really surprised me.

I had some of these made a couple years ago so I would have one for my car and just sold the rest to cover costs. I was thinking of having another run made for Solvang this year.

Brian, would you make both SPL and SRL badges? If so I would be in on a 2L badge

I only had the 1600 badge made as the setup costs were fairly high and I was doing it so I could have one for my own 1600. If I have another batch made they already have the setup done so I will only be paying for the badges themselves.

There are two different Griffin badges on ebay right now, both in India. One is $10 with $10 shipping (Nissanman Style). The other is $25 and has 2 holes like Zippy style. Just search Datsun Badge and you should find them both...

I am thinking about having this one made next. It is old and looks really cool. I think it would look great on my grille :D .

THAT'S THE ONE!!! That was what I spotted in the photo on another like and ignorantly thought it was Japanese writing. Price is a little steep though.

That 40th Anniversary JAF badge is expensive I'm sure because it is actually made in Japan and the enamel work looks pristine. Hard to justify that for a piece of jewelry when it would also be 25% of the way to a new set of rubber... But still tempting somehow...all Fairlady's love a little Blingbling!

I look at that, then look at all the other parts I really need, and then go out to buy a lottery ticket.
