Ducati Meccanica badge: reproduction

Among the particularities of the Triumphs sold in the ‘60s in Italy there is the “Ducati Meccanica” badge, witness of the time when the brand from Borgo Panigale, then led by Giuseppe Montano, was the Italian distributor of the Triumph cars. I have reproduced this badge, today impossible to find. In this article I tell you how.
