Badge-is this an official?

[kats]

Hello,

I have got a nice Safari rally memorabilia badge in Japan.I really love this shape and color.

I had been staying at hotel in Tokyo this month,and I found a wonderful thing...

The hotel is located just 2 blocks west of NISMO - Omori factory.I looked around entrance and immediately I found a badge collection.There is a description plate tells,

"Nanba Yoshiharu-the first president of NISMO- Car badge collection"

Mr.Nanba is famous,he was a general manager of Nissan rally team late 60's to 70's.His telling stories are really fun and worth to read,I want to share with all of people but I do not see any publication,have you ever seen in English?

Anyway,the collection has an exactly same badge which I have.Is this a kind of an official memorabilia?

If someone knows this badge,please let me know.

I don't know about that badge but I notice that one of the badges pictured to the left and above it in your second picture commemorates 'FISCO'. I have a FISCO badge and a few years back Alan T. told me about it here.

Kats, would you by chance have more close up pictures of the rest of the badges on display?

Wow, what a find. Thank you for sharing

Yeah

I like to see the Red badge above your Yellow badge.

And the White badge to the left of the Red Badge also.

Very cool KATS :classic:

It appears to be a manufacturers commemorative plate issued by Nissan for the event. Other manufacturers had their own plates, and from what I have read, it is a classic shape that was first used in 1911 and is still used to this day. Very nice find Kats!
