Made from zinc with soft enamel fill and finished in antique gold plating, it's a collector's pin that references the founding year of the brand and the winged imagery that has been part of H-D's visual identity since its earliest decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe design - wings, a star, and 1903:\u003c\/strong\u003e The composition on the Wings of Honour Pin draws from the classic winged badge format that H-D has used across its history - wings as a symbol of speed, freedom, and the spirit of the open road, flanking a circular badge that carries the brand's founding year. \"Est. 1903\" is a statement of heritage that very few motorcycle brands can make - Harley-Davidson has been building motorcycles for over 120 years, and the 1903 founding date on a pin is a quiet but significant assertion of that longevity. The star at the centre adds a distinctly American quality to the composition, connecting the brand to its Milwaukee origins and the broader American motorcycle tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinged badge design - a wing either side of a circular badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStar at the centre of the badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Harley-Davidson Est. 1903\" around the outer edge of the circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5\" zinc die-cast base - solid weight and precise detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft enamel fill - slightly raised texture between metal lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntique gold plating - aged, warm finish that suits the heritage subject\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButterfly clutch back - secure on leather, denim, and fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoft enamel vs hard enamel - the difference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike the hard enamel pins elsewhere in the H-D collector's range, the Wings of Honour Pin uses soft enamel fill. Soft enamel sits slightly recessed between the raised metal lines of the design rather than level with them, creating a textured surface where the metal lines are raised above the enamel areas. This gives the pin a more tactile, dimensional quality - you can feel the metal lines when you run a finger across the surface - and it suits the detailed winged badge composition well, as the raised metal lines emphasise the wing feathering and the circular badge outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntique gold plating and the 1903 founding year:\u003c\/strong\u003e The antique gold finish is the natural choice for a pin that carries the founding year of the brand. The aged, patinated quality of antique gold is consistent with the heritage weight of \"Est. 1903\" - it would be incongruous to put a founding year from over a century ago on a bright, contemporary-looking pin. The antique gold gives the Wings of Honour Pin the same visual age as the history it references.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWings in H-D's visual history:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winged imagery has appeared in Harley-Davidson design since the early 1900s - on tank badges, engine covers, dealer signage, and branded merchandise across the brand's history. The winged badge format on this pin references that long tradition, making it a design that H-D historians and long-term riders will recognise as part of the brand's authentic visual language rather than a contemporary invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sixth pin in the H-D collector's range:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Wings of Honour Pin joins the Legendary, Two Tone, Vintage Cycle, Bronze Shield Cycle, and Iron \u0026amp; Pride pins as the sixth piece in the H-D collector's set - and the only soft enamel pin in the range, giving it a distinct tactile quality that sets it apart from the others.
