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

Although I did not get mine today I did see another one. Made by ‘Firmin’ from the original dies for a film company not too long ago. I still need to get the date.

In my humble opinion this is not a genuine badge. I recently purchased an identical badge on UK ebay. As far as I can tell it's a new badge.
