Yeah, ain't it ugly?
Then again I'm guessing the repair was done years ago by the owner in Mongolia.ekclete Wrote:...but I am not sure the cost of that in comparison to getting a different badge all-together.

It's not that rare; there are some to be had at various dealer's sites. Then again Mongolia is not *that* big a country, medal-wise at least.
My price was about a quarter of the going rate (for this specific instance) and the repair guy, while out of the country, is known for his excellent work and great prices. I've a request in to him to see what the price is but say $30 for both enamel and solder I'd think 'not a bad deal'.
I'm gonna withhold my own ideas on what repairs to make for the momoent so as not to confuse things on this poll.
