Dear staff,
I see different colors from the “Mondial” badge in the 50th.
Some were blue and other ones are red.
Do you know in which year the color chances?
Or is it the diffence between competition and road legal bikes?
Thanks,
best regards
Hardy Meister

Caro Mr. Meister,
i badge red erano la regola. In alcuni modelli, e non sempre, hanno usato quelli azzurri ( nei primi160 o in alcuni 50cc sport 3V ) o quelli blu (nelle prime moto, quelle con forcella stampata).
Nelle primissime moto racing c’erano quelli blu di dimensioni maggiori e senza la scritta sotto ( campione del mondo). Nei primi esemplari del 175 Superturismo erano rossi ma senza l’FB e con un accento diverso.
Dai primi anni 60 è sparito l’FB e sotto è finalmente apparsa quella ” 10 volte campione del mondo”.
Dear Mr. Maister
red badges were the rule. In some models, and not always, they used light blue ones (in in the first specimens of160cc or some 50cc sport 3V) or dark blue ones (in the first bikes, those with a printed fork).
In the very first racing bikes there were the dark blue ones of bigger dimensions and without the writing below (world champion). In some specimens of the 175 Superturismo of 1957 they were red but without the FB and with a different accent.
The FB disappeared from the early 1960s and the “10 times world champion” finally appeared below.
