I am sorry to say the badge is a complete fake, designed to deceive.
Heres why.
1. Never made with a sliders, always on loops.
2. 5VB NEVER made in bi metal, always either White Metal or Blackened Brass.
3.. Wrong font
4. Known fraudulant copy.
So the answer is, dont bother repairing, just bin it.
Sorry to be so blunt but its worthless junk I am afraid.
regards
