    Period Nardi Porsche Horn Button

    Anybody got a photo of a Nardi Porsche horn button from the early 70s? Trying to determine what is 'period correct', small or large emblem, materials, etc.

    Thanks

    I've got one. I can post a photo later today. I'm not around my computer for the morning.

    Here are 3 examples of Nardi horn buttons. The first photo is one from the early 70s (73 to be exact) the next one is from the late 70s and the 3rd one is from the late 60s.

    The top one is a typical Nardi/personal button from the70's /80's - they were made with chrome cage, black plastic cage, and no cage (see Jim's #2) depending on application. The defining features are a small crest under a plastic sphere, in gold, black and red. You might get a clue as to age from the type of connector and markings on the back.
    the second item here looks homemade - those crests are easily available, and so is glue.
