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

Genuine Nissan badges are metal or plastic depending on the year made.

The only interior badge is the steering wheel, a small piece of aluminum trim. See the steering wheel article.

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.
