That's okay, the fitting on the reverse does not look to be the original one, but, it's fine, they were brass, with an applied bronze finish and whilst you do see odd examples applied with the two prongs pointing downwards, they do tend to point upwards.
You will also encounter them with the registration number stamped to the centre of the "half moon" but, again, not always and of course, some of the actual badge dies used were engraved with Toye & Co Ld London, but, again by no means all.

I'm guessing it's a real one that has been repaired but I was just wondering what people thought, it's obviously not a period repair but is it an old repair?
Thanks,
