This is one of those badges that you really need to see "in hand" to make a judgement.

The front looks OK to me, however the badly fitting pin plate that doesn't match the guides worries me, as does the colour of the metal of the reverse. However this doen't mean I think it's bad, but I'd need to actually see it to judge.

Sorry.
Don

I agree with Don - - but on balance I do believe it a copy,

I'm not fond of the pinplate or "oil on water" effect of the back finish either.
