These are sold by ebay sellers of fakes. It is a very good match to the one shown in K&K with only the slightest differences in design. In fact worringly good.

Hello All,
Following on from previous discussions on these badges, here are mine for comparison. I believe they are all genuine. The centre badge is minus a lug, and also more prominent in relief, and that has given it an ovular shape in the scan.
