Pin It Down

 Ok fellow space fans, a question for you. Does anyone recognise this badge ? Its plastic with gold finish and a small brass pin on the rear, no makers marks. I bought it on ebay, seller advertised it as a 'thunderbirds' badge.
 It bears more than a passing resemblance to the SWORD series of badges, especially the Supremo (not pictured as I haven't got a Zero X sob!) and is roughly the same size.
 I always loved the Sword badges and was especially blown away when Fanderson made a wonderful metal version a few years ago, a tough larger than the original, but just as impressive.
 Heres the mystery badge lined up against the metal version for scale and Fanderson's frisbee-like metal Zero-X badge too.
