A,C, and D are from '36-42. B is 51-7, E is 48-9, and the last one is from a 60s lightweight. Your frame is a late 50s - mid 60s, so actually none of them would fit. I believe the original badge would be similar to the last one, but witout 'made in england' on it. Somewhere in the mid 60s, they went to a decal badge. ~Adam

Well, if you're building a rat rod, it's not like you have to have the exact badge! You could just mark the holes and drill them out for whatever badge suits your taste. ..And the winged H badges with wards on top are all brass, would've had painted accents originally. ~Adam
