Datsun 1200s came with several badges (emblems). The original 1200 badges were metal, but the new ones -- genuine Nissan items -- are a high-quality plastic that looks very good. Aftermarket reproduction badges vary in quality from poor to very good.

Overview

Also see: Badge Part Numbers

Part Sources

* Nissan USA and Nissan Japan are out of badges
* Nissan Australia apparently still has some.
* eBay has them from time to time
* Yahoo Auctions Japan always has some
* Too Intense usually has some 1200 badges
* Aoba Auto
* South Yokohama
* Matsuoka

Be careful of the quality:

Malaysia repro vs Nissan item: This reproduction badge has has poor chroming and what appears to be hand-painted coloring that doesn't exactly stay within the lines. However, other reproduction badges may be high quality.
