Steve,
There are dozens of fake badges out there.
Fran's badge is actually nicer looking than the original. In fact a friend of mine prefers this to the original and coincidentally he said so this morning.

The original has a distinct die scar dividing the disc. The chrome background is thicker and the colours are also much paler. There is also no chrome surround to the black font.

A good greyscale plate of an original badge can be seen on page 6 of David Hodges book where you will see the scar disecting the FORD G.T. text.
