Panther Pictures - The Logos and Tank Badges

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.

Prowling 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.

Snarling Panther Logo. According to the first version of "The Book" this was used, together with the word "Panther" as a tank badge on 1936-8 500cc and 600cc Panthers and 1938-9 Red Panthers, except Model 40.

Tank Badges from Related Machines

These are scans of the left and right side tank transfers from the Swedish Svalan; a machine derived from the postwar lightweight fourstroke Panthers. These transfers are from Mats Berglind's 1950 Svalan. The text relating to the maker is below.

Other Logos

The Perfected Motorcycle Logo. Used, I think, on early publicity and documents.

Snarling Panther Logo. Used, I think, in the 1930s.

Aftermarket (not made by P&M) tank transfer, probably from New Zealand. (Picture from Des Molloy.)
