Looks like Barber's in Alabama.
 
i had a 59 bsa that had that round emblem.
would that have made it A10 ?
 
That's not a Rocket. A 650cc BSA A65 twin. SLS front brake suggests 1966 or earlier.

You likely know more than me about these bikes, but there were several iterations of Rockets made from at least 1961. Super, Gold Star, Lightning, etc.

A50B & A65D would be a Lightning Rocket.

64/65 era A65's are quite a bit different than later A65's. There is even a fair amount of changes between the 2 years. Here’s a decent guide: BSA Models 1961-74
