Hi Chris,
This looks like a genuine example to me.
All that white stuff may be the remnants of a cleaning attempt and should probably be carefully removed though.

Hi Chris,
It still looks like a nice original to me.
If cleaning it, I'd be VERY careful about using water and a toothbrush on this one - for two main reasons;
1) the badge is zinc and you may accelerate and zincpest if any moisture is left on it.
2) the silver finish on these badges is a very thin plating - the toothbrush could very easily remove or disturb this plating.
On tombak badges, even EKs if dried thoroughly, the soapy water and toothbrush method is fine. More care needs to be taken with this one though.
