AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin features a stylized Citroën SM, positioned on a silhouette evoking the map of France. The item has a shiny white background, bordered by an irregular silver outline reminiscent of French borders. On the upper part, a stylized inscription "SM" is visible in grey, directly referencing the iconic Citroën model. The car, in a red finish with silver details for the windows and chrome, occupies a central position and immediately catches the eye thanks to its characteristic 1970s design.

The inscription "Club de France" is clearly legible at the bottom of the pin, indicating membership in a car club dedicated to this model. The badge has a smooth surface, with color areas applied by enamelling, giving it a typical shine of promotional or commemorative pins from the late 20th century. The lines are sharp, and the details of the wheels and headlights are well-defined, highlighting the quality of manufacture.

The pin adopts a cut-out shape, following the outline of the map of France, rather than a classic round or rectangular format. The contrast between the red color of the SM and the white background enhanced with silver gives it an elegant and retro look. No other text or logo is visible on the front, making the item very legible and directly identifiable for vintage car enthusiasts.

This type of pin was frequently distributed at car rallies, shows, or events related to the Citroën community. The item is presented on a plain background, allowing appreciation of the fineness of its contours and the quality of the enamel used. No major defects are observable in the photo, except for a few micro-traces of use that indicate classic handling for this type of vintage accessory.
