Is this pin an old Barnet FC logo?

Post: # 260825Post DutchSuomiFan »

I've been having this pin for a few years now and I still don't know from which club it is. Then someone told me it looks like the Barnet FC logo. Maybe it's an old Barnet FC logo? https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSO1Zhhf93/

Definitely Barnet FC.
I have never seen one of these before and I have been watching Barnet since 1961, so I think it must be pre that date.

I genuinely wonder how old this pin is then!

The 'font' for want of a better word, for B F C suggests 1920s to 1930s (in my opinion).
I don't know if pins were made back then but if they were, this must be a rarity.

Looks like it but I don't think it can be any older than the 50s.

From Wikipedia:
The club's current crest was designed in the 1950s and contains the green hill of High Barnet and the red rose, white rose and crossed swords representing the 1471 Battle of Barnet, a pivotal battle in the Wars of the Roses. The badge was designed by Sidney Robert Price who was the chairman of the club at the time.
What was the club crest before this?

That would be amazing for my collection.

I think mikel has nailed it with the date of the crest itself.
I do like the pin, I'd certainly like to own it :-)

This is the Barnet crest on a Badge from pre 1939.
