I'm really tempted to grab those tank badges; my originals are ok but not perfect. However I'm not sure I can justify the cost.  *doubt*

... possibly side panel badges for the later A65 range.
The A65 badge looks very similar but without the words 'Golden Flash'.

You're right, GB.   I got it wrong this time.......

 How about this one.

 This can't be a  Golden Flash tank badge but rather an A65 side panel badge.

 Swarfy.

I purchased in NZ a set of cast winged badge but they don't fit on tank %$§#^ù !!!! Sure they will crack if I force it on

Looking for metal stamp version that may be more flexible! Original or refab.
Thanks in advance

PS I purchased also 4 screws new and are not the right threat &#{£µ¤²!!!!
If you know the right screw description, I would appreciate too!

What a shame they don't fit, they look like great quality copies. Wish my efforts looked that good.

olev.   Supposedly the last pair. Yet the copy  makes great play of the tooling, made with high tech laser scanned and CNC precision. With that investment seems a shame to scrap that tooling........I'm sure they will try to make another set.

 Reminds me of the guy that bought the last Ming Vase.

 Interestingly they have a black pair also listed in the same manner, and  for both the manufacturing source is supposedly the UK.

Are the winged “golden flash” badges that were fitted to plunger frame GF’s the same as the ones fitted to early swing arm GF’s.
I mean same size same screw hole pattern same radius etc

If so I might have a spare set that came off an early swing arm tank that are embossed with Golden Flash as fitted to my swing arm GF

They are the same, Scotty.
Some are aluminium and some are brass.
