    You have to like the restored one's (see them in the flesh).

    Depending on your likes, you could consider to buy a nice used one. IMHO do those have more character.

    As an alternative there are nice repro badges in orange available. They are like $60.

    My $.02

    see them in the flesh is a saying meaning, see them in person, first hand, be able to observe and touch them. meaning not in pictures or over the web but first hand.

    imho is an abbreviation for in my honest opinion or in my humble opinion

    Hi Egbert, you could check with Pamela David Enamels in the uk.
    You can give them a call +44 (0) 1769 520536 they should be able to tell you the price on the phone.
    Warning: Their Website is kind of late 80's style http://badgecraft.co.uk/
    Cheers

    Uli
