if it never had rivet holes, don't put any in! use a transfer instead or use strong double sided tape if you intend to put a badge up front.
It's fairly unusual for it not to have had a riveted headbadge, why make like all the rest?

Dunno, he PM'd me about putting pics up, I sent him a link to the FAQs on how to use photobucket and flickr. He sent me another saying "doesn't have to be that awkward, just upload a file" I went to reply and it wouldn't let me saying he was a guest  |

Hey, I have a raleigh badge that I was told came off my bike.   Unfortunately it's been painted over with gold paint and the only writing still visible is "HAM" It doesn't have rivet holes, just 2 small projections from the back. My frame (early MK2) has had any holes filled when painted. Does this badge look right? Cheers. |

nope, that head badge is far too modern.
All Raleigh badges of the period had 3 holes and were made of brass, were a lot thinner and not made from some monkey metal alloy garbage

 Here's a pic of the frame. I got the bike with a bag of bits, the raleigh badge was in the bag. Looking closer at the frame you can see what looks like the 3 holes filled over for a badge but I haven't checked to see if they are holes yet, suppose they could be jammed with the remnants of any rivets and need drilling out.
