Hi Tom,
I don't have such photos. These badges were found in the 90's before the age of digital cameras. But at this time I saw three (including this one) GAB 75 JFS from this found - two other were with typical black finish + a few GAB 25 & 50 (all JFS). So, I am sure that this one is original. Refinished ? - all is possible (I saw these badges a few weeks or months after finding) - but in my opinion zinc corrosion (see photos 11, 23, 27) contradicts this.
Best regards,
Piotr
