Tank Badges
The tank badge on a 1914 RFC P&M in the UK National Motorcycle Museum. According to the first version of "The Book" this was used between 1910 and 1920.
Name - log-prow.JPG, Source - Classic Bike / Ray Archer, Size - 23kProwling Panther tank badge. According to the second version of "The Book" this was used in 1927.
The leaping Panther logo was used on the Model 90 in 1933. I believe it was used on various machines during the 1930s. This picture is a scan (thanks Alan) of the transfers. I believe it would have been used with the word "Panther" above. It is somewhat similar to the leaping Panther on th 1926 TT Panther.
