Also, give GT CAR PARTS in AZ a call, they might have a used or even new 
one.....they are a great resource for 308 parts!!

VERY bad news! The original, OEM nose badges are quite rare....if you 
inspect it closely, it is different from the later versions and should have 
some Italian manufacturer markings on the back. If you can find an original, 
they go for over $350+ and those are quite beat-up (used). The newer style 
(post 1986 cars carried these, I believe) are fairly generic and can be had 
anywhere for $100. If you order one from McCanns, Rutlands, Barts, etc. 
you're getting the same $100 badge from all of them. Dennis McCann 'might' 
have a few older ones around, but.....your other bet is to try Tom 
Shaunnessy. I'd enclose a pic I took of my old 308 badge next to the 'new' 
one, allowing you to easily spot the differences in design, but it's too 
large.....

If you're going for originality, I'd try stripping the paint off and trying 
to find a jeweler who works with Enamel - perhaps they'd be willing to 
repair/refinish it. A friend has an original NART badge personally given to 
him by Luigi Chinetti when he worked in Chinetti's garage, it has a divot in 
the enamel now....a shame. I have my OEM one 'off' the car, with the cheaper 
$100 badge in-its-place while I source someone willing to repair mine to its 
former glory.
