When I bought my new 1970 Super Course the dealer (long defunct La Jolla Cyclery) pointed out the special oval badge and said it was to commemorate a special anniversary, which certainly led me to believe it was a one-year-only feature.

Now I see in the oval headbadge in both the '69 and '70 catalogs, and the "regular" heron headbadge used earlier and later.

So I believed the proprietor's "anniversary" line for thirty four years- what is the real story on these oval badges?

Thanks
