I think you would be far better off actually buying an original example.

Default Original versus copy

Frank is absolutely right, an original badge even if repaired is IMO far better than a modern copy.

Barge pole comes to mind.

It's great to see that a member is using this forum for information regarding purchasing badges, had he not inquired he may have bought it.

The same seller regularly has a complete set of the Royal Warwickshire Birmingham Battalions on a rotating basis - £75 each (all sold as individual items, of course). They come around like DFS sales.
