TRIUMPH Allied Forces vintage cast metal badge. Dates back to the 1980s, probably c1981. Butterfly clasp fastening. Dimensions: W 3 cm x H 2,5 cm. A MASSIVE thanks to Turn_the_Hell_on for this one!
Beautiful badge. Definitely one of my favourite ‘cast metal’ designs!
Thanks! However a very fragile one: the letters are hold by a very thin bar of cast pewter only, and unfortunately now it's become a "RIUMPH" pin. :/
Could you maybe hot glue or solder it back on? You're right, it sounds like poor design.
The thing is that it broke and just fell off - I never saw it again.
There should be a more stable, if not even fully coloured version of this one
There is indeed: shorturl.at/bkOXZ - rock solid enameled stuff. Still, this cast openwork one has its charms despite its fragility.
