AUDI / GERMANY ( 1910 - 1939 and 1965 to date )
AUDI was founded in 1910. Here is the first enameled emblem in the history of AUDI.
Before there was an oval brass emblem on the radiator with a small "a", so it says: audi.
The AUDI production stopped in 1939. The next Audi was the type 60 from 1965. It was a revised DKW F 102.

There is no makers mark, but the backside of an original has to look like this.

After WWII there was a very similar emblem made of chromed sheet metal. But I don´t know where and when it was used. Do you have an idea ?
