Pleasure Deejay...yes probably rarer than the mower id think, as ive seen a few badgless fans. Oddly enough im sure the 14" reel was red, but id have to do some digging to try and confirm. I was looking at a few stored fan images I have and it seems my original comment regarding the red badge running on a portion of mk 2 fans may well be accurate as their appear quite a few original examples...my curiosity now is why I have seen (and own)a few examples of early model 1s with original green badges...again using up old stock? Another odd victa discrepancy.
