No comment on this individual badge, but all I would say is that a lot of dealers have a " man" who repairs badges and re-applies black or bronze finishes for them, some better than others.
I am convinced that a lot of original damaged badges have been so poorly re-finished/ repaired that, whilst they might in fact be genuine,the way they now appear would put a lot or collectors off them.
P.B.
P.S. on reflection,the blades on this example do seem to a little higher up the badge than I would have expected
