If it came out of Bedale Car Boot sale I saw it last weekend it’s a wrong un. Personally I have not seen MGC OR badges on loops the finish has as modern shine and details are poorly executed.

Two things struck me about it. First the small area between the crown and guns - there seems to be a space filler. I don't recall seeing that on other badges. Second there is flash around the edges, especially inside the crown. Not one I would want.
