Cool german car club badge I found at the junkyard...

[GOOBER]

I found this today on an e30 in the junkyard, thought it was kinda cool so I bought it. Does anyone know if it's worth anything? Looks to be old (possibly of 60's-70's vintage?) and it's weathered so it's definitely a cool piece. I don't believe this specific one is a repro but I know they do make reproduction ones online because I did a quick google search.

It says "Salzburger Automobile Club" which revealed nothing to me from a simple google search. Anybody have any info on this? Here's what I'm talking about (I apologize for the shitty cell phone picture):

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say it is worth nothing at all, unless you can find an original member from Salzburg who wants it.

Yeah maybe not but I only paid a buck for it. If nothing else I'd like to know the history because I don't think that club is around anymore.

Cool. I used to have a BMW Club of South Africa grill badge until it delaminated and blew off the car. Had the Mtech stipe on the lower right corner.
Best pic I could find of it:

looks like a variation of the Porsche badge in the center red and black stripes and the horse pretty interesting i like it

Well as for info, it would appear to be the badge for members of the Salzburger Automobile Club, which was a club for auto drivers in Salzburg.

That shield is the coat of arms of the state of Salzburg...pretty common for Germanic cities/political subdivisions, not necessarily unique to Porsche (though Porsche's is most well known). I'd bet the center stripe that is black was at one time white?

Pretty damn cool, I'd rock it on my car.

The club was probably around in the 1920s/30s.
