    I've lost count of the amount of Beetles and type 3s my Dad had when I was a kid, he bought me an old 6 volt Beetle for my 17th birthday. I sold it and bought a motorbike.

    As The Kinks would say, you're a dedicated follower of fashion!

    I would have grabbed it too but my future Type 82 is still a dream...

    Prob a genuine made buckle but not sure if TR related.
    I would say it is TR related, simply because the circle surrounding the VW logo is that of the DAF and not the usual ordinary circle we see on cars today.

    I looked up the history of the VW emblem and the one with the cogwheel is listed as 1939.

    It was the factory fire crew/brigade.

    That's what I thought. They used it on helmets too and I think they also used the decal on M35 types just as many other factories did with their own logos.
