<p>Many repro badges for all kinds of classics have the wrong
curvature. Made to a price I am afraid. Any producer wherever they
are located can make proper badges, but at a cost. Moss probably
did not pay more than a tenner originally and made a nice profit.<br>
Fit the old one if it is anywhere near decent, it is authentic so
a bit of patination adds to the charm of it.</p>

in 2015 I purchased many parts in preparation for
this day. One item is the MKIII badge (of which I
opened the box for the first time yesterday). When
I place it in it’s spot on the front shroud, I was
not happy with the way that it looked compared to 2
old badges that I have. </span></div>

<div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">The
old badge has less of an arch, and fits more flush
to the body. The first thing I noticed is that the
repro has more of an arch left to right. It’s more
bulbous left to right than the originals. This new
one really only touches the body at the ends of
the “wings”. To me, I think it looks wrong. </span></div>

Moss lists this part now for $399…ouch! Does anyone
