Vintage OEM VW Beetle Front Hood Emblem Lot 113853601B Schwager Pforzheim
This is an authentic pair of vintage, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Volkswagen front hood emblems, stamped with part number 113 853 601 B. These 85mm round visual badges are crafted from cast aluminum and were officially produced in West Germany by the historic authorized manufacturer K. Schwager Pforzheim. Designed specifically for classic air-cooled vehicles, these highly sought-after "survivor" pieces fit the 1964–1979 Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1) and 1962–1969 Volkswagen Type 3 (including Fastback, Squareback, and Notchback models) featuring the raised hood design section. Both emblems retain their classic stacked "VW" layout and show an honest, authentic vintage patina with light surface oxidation, weathering, and pitting. The backing structure includes original mounting hardware pins on the reverse side, making them ideal for an authentic "patina-style" car restoration, a garage display collection, or industrial art. One emblem displays crisp, clearly legible manufacturer stampings and part numbers on the bridge, while the companion emblem serves as a matching counterpart.
