Re: Flying 'S' badge -- rear vs front

The flying-S badge with horizontal bolts is the rear badge. The grille badge has the diagonal bolts

Yes these came on Japan-market 1972 coupes, all coupes including DX, GL, and GX


the rear badge is distinguished by scalloped fluting on the edge of the circle part. The grille badge has a smooth chrome finish

Open in new window


If the black paint is worn off...
Open in new window


...examine it for the scalloped sections
Open in new window


Also if i recall correctly the rear badge is nearly flat, while the grille badge has a V-shape to match the grille angle

I don't have badges any more as i sold or gave away when i moved. Carried only two suitcases on the plane. Sometimes I think about my old 1200s but really need aircon here
