Best vintage English bike badges
I've been checking out a lot of the vintage English bikes and just really love the badge on the front of some of them like Triumph, Raleigh, and Hercules. Any others out there with similar badges?

Thanks for sharing. Those are real cool. I just thought of another one I like, Royal Scot. Somebody has one of those for sale around here.

I really like the Raleigh anniversary headbadge.
I think of it as the Heron of Guadalupe. No one but me seems to see that though.

I don't have one to show, but the Rudge "Red Hand of Ulster" badge was nice.

Were silver badged Dawes frames lesser than gold badged? Mine is.
Interesting badge sidelight is that after the Dawes factory burnt down at the end of the bike boom, the new owners did away with the torch.
