Headbadge touchup with Paint Pen
My 1953 Norman headbadge is a little worn. I found some extra fine point paint markers on Amazon that worked great. Came in a pack of 12 colors and the red matched pretty good.
The pictures are better than my eyes so I see a couple small spots to touch up.

Looks good.
fwiw, I thought maybe I could see traces of red in the lettering so I did an image search and found this on Velobase. I claim no knowledge.
Edit - having no luck with the link. Just search ‘velobase Norman headbadge’.

I found that one too. It has some other differences.

I re-did my Holdsworth badge with testors model paint. I've used ultrafine paint pens to do lug linings with excellent results. Perhaps a combo of pens for outlining details and paint for fill would give better results.

There does look like a trace of red in the triangle under Norman
