This badge is available for sale locally, and I took some detailed pictures of the piece first:

At first glance, it seems fine (other than it being very clean and shiny), so I did some more digging into the "L/63" makers mark and ran across this on this forum from 2014:

I assume the badge I took photos of is just another one of the fakes that the 2014 poster showed?

I assume stay away (particularly since Big Ned passed sentence on it ), but I figured I’d post it here, and bring further awareness for new members of these (I assume) fakes out there.

Thanks as always!
