Warren: Either looks fine to me, although your second picture won't open separately for me, so it's hard to see the condition. Front shots would be helpful. There are a few different finishes, ranging from a toned red copper to browned. Fort Garry Horse isn't an uncommon badge by any stretch, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a good one at under $20.

Hello Warren, The second picture was attached as an image, not a thumbnail, so it won't open.
To add to David's comments, a lugged badge would be my preference over a pin back variation.
