"Is this an MGA Grille badge? It is 2 1/8" across and looks to be enamel. Says J Fray Bham on the back. See the pictures. What makes me wonder is that the back has a pin on it to hold vertical alignment. My orginal grill badge does not have this pin. Anyone know?"

Concourse original grille badge, but not quite right for MGA.

This grille badge is almost perfect for MGA. The MGA badge has the threaded center stud for mounting, but not the offset pin. I post these pictures because it is an excellent example of an original MGA badge, except for the offset pin. If you would cut off the extra pin it would work perfectly for the MGA.

An interesting detail is on the back with raised lettering "J FRAY   LTD   BHAM". This is the name of the badge manufacturer. This name appeared on badges for early production MGA but was apparently deleted for later production. The early badges with the name seem to be highly valued, even though the name is hidden when the badge is installed. Perhaps there a some avid badge collectors out ther bidding up the prices.
