Hi,
I think I have what you are looking for. I have a modest Car Badge collection & 1 of the Badges is the long 13.5 cm Holden single letters Boot Badge joined with the strip. Badge is in EXC with a small mark on the letter H & letter D, otherwise fantastic cond for age. What price would you be offering for a Badge like this please if interested. I tried attaching a pic but found nowhere to attach. My Mob is 0401092265 if you would like a few pics sent to you, just msg me, cheers
Regards,
Mike

Hi Folks,
Looks like these are available via eBay (early bitz), which I hasten to add is not me! $175 + $18 postage.
Regards
Stephen

The FB boot badge repros went very, very quiet for a while... not long after GMH clamped down on them. They were being sold as a "proudly made in Australia reproduction". They have now started being sold again, this time as NOS. My guess is that if you sell them as NOS, then GMH is less likely to be asking pointed questions about Intellectual Property.

What if .... the guy who was repoing them also "bought a box of 100 rear boot badges" back in 1963 old stock and could sprinkle a bit of shed dust on them and sell them off as " holden boot badge, unknown model ,old new stock" been in storage last 53 year's.

The only drama is that the guy (Sammy) is too honest. He approached GMH, got a knock-back, and stopped repro'ing.
