Anyone seen these badges before?



I wonder how these are awarded. I'd love to get that 200k badge for my radiator grill.

these badges are pretty cool. in the US (dont know about Canada), the dealers give them out without too much of an issue i understand...i asked a couple of service guys here in west australia at the official dealers and they scratched their heads and though i was speaking gibberish!
anyhow, try your dealer with tyour service book as a record and you might have some luck!

I got one.  I live in the US and the process here is to fill out a paper application and take it to an M-B dealership.  The service manager will sign off on the application and then the application is mailed in.

Sorry, couldn't resist a chance to show off my collection!

Edit because I just looked at this picture again and realized how cruddy my old grill looked.  I've replaced the gray plastic since then!

^ Nice!

Yeah, I don't think we Aussies down here get them unfortunately.

Still, they can be had on Ebay sometimes. I nearly bought one, then got sniped at the last second  Tongue
