There were at least three different companies with the name "PILOT": one in the USA, one in Great Britain and finally one in Germany, which is the one we are talking about here. The latter was active from 1923 to 1928 . To my knowledge there are only two cars left.
The 1924 radiator emblem was a simple round brass plate with five letters saying PILOT. The only distinctive feature is that the letter I is integrated in the letter P:
| Size | 7.0 cm x 7.0 cm |
|---|---|
| Year | 1925- 1928 |
| Estimate |  |
 |
| backside without makers mark |
 |
| one of the rare contemporary photos (1925) |
This is a (bad) repro from GOEDE / Germany made with the wrong colors:

There was also an enameled radiator script:

| script before restoration |

| contemporary ad decorated with the restored script |
