General TR Triumph emblem?

[Gliderman8]

I drove past a small car show today. While there I saw these dome shaped Triumph emblems that a vendor was selling. Can anyone help me identify them?
They are 2” in diameter with a threaded stud on the rear. Does anyone know which model Triumph they might be for?
See pics and thanks for any help identifying them.

They look like hubcap centers on the TR3, although I thought they were enamel painted as original (cloisonne).

It appears that they were painted as I can see “light blue” paint as in the first pic I posted.

Agree on the hubcap. Earth areas were red, and oceans were blue.

The TR4 and 4A, and likely the later 3A, had the less expensive(?) enameled versions such as pictured here.

Couldn't they just be standard TR4 hubcap emlems? Mine looked like that back in high school.

Very easy to repaint if you have an original (or photo) to show where the red and blue bits are.

The logo always seemed to me to be showcasing the British Empire... and why not?

Thanks. That’s what I have…. A set of four that will need to be painted.

I have a TR6 so really no need for them. Guess I’ll just hang onto them. Thanks for all the info you provided.

Where can you find the enamel paint to redo them?

David - If you want to really enamel something, you do it similar to powder coating. "color dust plus high heat"

Or you could just use common enamel paint - which isn't really an "enamel". It just dries to a very hard, shiny surface (like real enamel).

Onward through the fog!

Thank you.

I was refering to the model type paint. I don't think the medallions would take the heat of proper enameling.
