Unfortunately this one appears to be fake in my opinion. Looks to be a poor attempt at casting, with a weird finish I have never seen along with lugs typical of fakes.

Any pic or link still available? GC badges were not always the straight chevrons they were "supposed" to be. As long as it is white for the 17L, it could be correct.
