Chris & Bill:
All four of the nave plates on ole TS981 have the underline under Triumph
and I was assured that these "World" badges were original. According to
Piggott there were two types of these badges, the early version was of the
vitreous enamelled type but at TS13046 the more common painted type took over
but in both cases the underline was there. Coincidently TS13046 was also
when the braking type was changed from Lockheed to Girling and their discs
in front.
I have absolutely no clue what "vitreous enamelled" is but those are
Piggott's words.
