I’m just wondering if it’s real or not and upon closed inspection I see a faint three or 5 right in the middle of the pin

Hi Jollygreen19,

It's a Juncker Auxiliary Cruiser badge but I'm not sure what happened to it. The badge and globe look original but the rivet is wrong (perhaps globe reattached), the catch is gone and someone's drilled a hole where the catch was. Also looks refinished.

Perhaps an unsuccessful restoration job?

Best regards,

I agree.
