That badge appears to have some corrosion affecting the appearance. It looks like an original badge however.

Yes? Do you think it would be a good space filler?

I suppose. I would try polishing it up however. At any rate, these are very common and inexpensive badges and a replacement would be best in my opinion.

It looks like it may have the frosted silver coating.

Yet another lovely gesture from a forum member - offer of a free badge to help another member out. Never ceases to amaze me the generosity of forum members on here. Doesn't happen on other forums...
