It looks very much like it's the original badge Kurt and the pins look like they've never been disturbed either. No scratches or marks anywhere to show that it might be a transplant. I've got a slightly later gent's roadster frame that has the stainless steel badge, - so I'm wondering if some of the early 1947 production might've had brass badges before the change over to stainless steel.
