Hello Dear Colleagues,
Could I ask for your help in assessing the authenticity of this badge?
Thank you in advance for your opinions.

The pictures are very poor and I'm unable to magnify them, but from what we can see I would pass.

Thank you very much; I agree that it’s a risky move. Unfortunately, these are the only photos I have.
Sincerely.

It is indeed a risky move.

In my opinion, the MG lacks the sharp details of the original. So, I would not purchase it.

I’ve owned several of these over the years and would not purchase the one in question.
