Their website is from the dark ages, their communications are snail mail and payments are by cheque. On the other hand their work is exemplary. I had a BJ8 MkIII badge restored by them some years ago and it was excellent. Late last year the red coloured glass inlay of my BN4 repro (AHSPares) badge started to fall out. Not surprising really as the badge had been fully chrome plated before the glass cloisonné was laid in. I had an original but tatty badge on the shelf and it could be clearly seen that the cloisonné had been laid in on the slightly matt finish copper plating, after which the chrome plate had been applied and polished.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I made sure the badge was the exact curvature of the front shroud and sent it to Pamela/David for a quote. They only give prices after receiving the badge. I wanted the badge fully restored and the plain studs on the back replaced with threaded studs. Their quote was acceptable at £150 (you get what you pay for) and the order confirmed in February. Notification of completion of the work was received with the invoice two weeks ago and, after sending my cheque – ‘Old School’ - the badge was returned. It is like jewellery. The finish is perfect and the curvature unchanged.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>This is a traditional cottage industry business but their work is of the highest order.

I found PD Enamels website ( <a href="http://badgecraft.co.uk/index.htm">http://badgecraft.co.uk/index.htm</a> ) and wonder if there is anyone else eg in North America who can do the restoration. The PD Enamels website is very old and has not been updated in years but that may not mean anything . Anyone have any thoughts on a suitable restorer?</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>thanks</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Bruce Starke</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Golden BC</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1962 Tricarb </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
