I think you'll find that the Ormond name was just embossed on the aluminium plate and had nothing to do with the making of the badge. I suspect it is a period home made badge and, in that respect, genuine.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi, thank you for the replies. The only Ormond I could find was from 1973 so I was a little suspicious, thanks again Mike
