I can help with that one. The pin you describe was the latest (last)
version of the TSOA emblem in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At the end
of 1981, TSOA's U.S. branch was absorbed into The Vintage Triumph
Register. I seem to remember VTR obtaining supplies of these pins and
car badges at that time; I bought a couple of each. My suspicion is that
these badges now are rather more scarce than the older styles -- either
blue/white or black/red shield -- of badge.
