I don’t like it I’m afraid and don’t believe it’s original.

The front has a mottled surface like the die is corroded. Exactly the same as this made yesterday repro on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROCHESTER...9158%7Ciid%3A1 The reverse looks a funny colour like it might’ve been chemically aged too.

I’ve checked K&K but the picture is so poor and has been retouched it’s not of any help. These are either very good fakes or restrikes. If the former I’ve never seen a genuine one, if the latter one with provenance is probably needed to confirm what a good badge looks like and the correct fixing.
