Sean,

Sorry, thought you meant painted insignia, and I could not see any.

Matchless go back to the pioneer days of motorcycling. They became amalgamated with AJS and shared models, an early case of "badge engineering". Later on they joined with Norton and I think the last Matchless was made around 1970ish.
