Hello!

I've had a Mercedes grille or hood badge amongst my things for a number
of years.  I think my dad got it at a swap meet and simply said "don't
lose this" and for the past 15 years or so I haven't, nor do I know
where it came from.
Here's a pic of it:

I've scoured the 'net for info on this but came up empty.
Thanks for your time,
