Rare 1983 Harley HOG Pin Brass Eagle –Historic Founding Year Harley Owners Group
Product Details
This is a highly collectible 1983 Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) pin — the very first year the Harley Owners Group was established by Harley-Davidson. Bearing the iconic eagle and wheel logo, this brass-tone pin represents more than just biker style — it's a tangible piece of motorcycle history. Issued during the inaugural year of H.O.G., this pin was only available to founding members and early adopters of what would become the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle club in the world. It features the original dual military-style clutch backs, and the reverse is marked © Harley Davidson, Inc. 1983 — confirming its authenticity and production date. At approximately 1.5 inches wide, this pin was designed to be proudly worn on vests, leathers, or displayed as part of a vintage Harley collection. The patina and wear are consistent with age and speak to its authentic legacy. This is not a reproduction — it's a rare original that holds deep meaning for longtime HOG riders and collectors. Early HOG pieces — especially from the founding year — are increasingly hard to find in original condition. 🔎 KEY FEATURES: * Authentic 1983 H.O.G. pin * Founding year collectible * Solid brass-tone with classic eagle & ribbon design * Marked: © Harley Davidson, Inc. 1983 * Dual pin clutch backings intact * Approx. 1.5 wide * Excellent vintage condition with desirable patina
