Picked this one up a while ago.

I know what it is, & wondered if anyone else did?

You have to look very hard,

It is of a type fitted to John Sprinzel's 1958 Coupe Des Alpes Sprite.

Originally designed by John in the late 1950's & used in very small quantities until the "normal" Speedwell badge came in.

I seem to remember seeing pin badges in those press photos at the racing car show.

Yup, That's a genuine one. I have a couple in my collection. They are smaller than you would expect, but very nice.
