BADGE? Front of Bicycle?

[vanoldschool]

Dug this up today, at first I thought it was a sherrifs badge, but based on the type of old english "B" Writing and the three possible rivit holes, I thought it may be a badge from an old bicycle The house I found this at also gave up a 1919 wheatie.

Cool badge Not sure it's a bicycle badge. It probably would just have two screw attachment.

I'm going with a "B" too.Definately not a "G" in my opinion.

 

[TreasureHunters]

Id say a B or maybe a R?

The letter is a G. Post some more pics of the badge from back, side etc.

A few of these have been posted here before and caused some debate. The general feeling is that they are saddle monograms. But no one has been able to prove it.

Yes I think I recall a link with at least 5 different letters posted by different people. Maybe someone can bring it up.

Wouldn't have thought bicycle badges were made of copper, but here's an old Gazelle:

I think it would be helpful with some more pics. How thick is the piece? Are those initials top left side of shield or just scratches/patina?

This bicycle badge link is pretty cool:
