OK thanks Deejay, it is an original, it has only tiny flaws in the clear plastic that covers the front of the badge that won't polish out, I did polish the front with some 3 step Novus plastic polish that I gought for my 4 wheeler, the white paint on the VICTA is perfect and I just touched up a couple of spots on the green bit as there was a couple of tiny patches you could just see through, so the silver is next, tried a small bit with some silver wheel paint I had but did not like the match so just wiped it off again, will buy some chrome paint and see how that looks, I payed a good dollar for it off Ebay with the handle bar clamp that was supposed to have been painted the corect green, but it wasent but I only have to sand down and paint again wih the mid brunswick green, I payed $130 for the two but have seen a lot worse condition badges sell for more so I was happy with it, seeing how the badge is a fair focal point of the mowers I payed the money.
