Subject: [CR] Wanted: reproduction head badge maker


Dear list, I spent a long time ascertaining the Identity of an old track iron. It had no markings but had some special build characteristics and a missing head badge with 4 holes. Anyway, I just came into possession of a similar bike *WITH* the head badge. Holes match as do all other characteristics. So, I am thinking of getting a badge made for the orphan. Does anyone know of a good maker of reproduction badges. I Googled and many turn up, but I have no real way of judging quality. And their prices are all over the map. BTW, I believe the badge to be nickel plated copper (if that is possible) although I have not removed it as of yet. Also, it is a bit intricate. thanks for any help and advice. Best, Eddie Albert Chappaqua, New York, U.S.A.
