Title: LMC Badge - Fake or Fortune!
Post by: Beckerman67 on 21 December, 2022, 02:41:42 PM
 Does anybody know if this badge was officially LMC produced?

 Purchased on Ebay as '1970's'.

It looks like a "real" one. They were popular in the 70's and 80's and as you say come up on eBay from time to time. There are some less attractive repros that I think come from India - they tend to be flatter and less well defined

It certainly looks real! Would it really be worthwhile making a forgery?

The Lancia Club in 1947 was prevented from using the Lancia badge by Lancia England.
The  first club badge was designed using a plain blue background. This badge was used until about the mid 1970’s
Some early badges have the members number stamped on.

I have a similar looking one that was in my Flaminia, didn't have the 2 mounting holes like that, more a clip to a grille type fitting, but the script and design look tye same.
I'll have a look and take some pics at the weekend if needed.

It's a standard item which comes up on e-bay from time to time. I think I paid £15 quid for mine so neither fake nor fortune.

This is the one I found in my recent Flaminia purchase.
