This doesn't answer your question, but you may want to give this technique a shot if you want to try it yourself.

Is that the original picture? Google can't find it anywhere else, and it's usually pretty good given an original image.

Re: Restoration of Emblems? ??
I've had great luck with this method-
strip the original paint and clean up the emblem with fine steel wool then degreaser. lay the emblem on a flat surface and get it perfectly level. Find some nail polish the colors you need and use a syringe (available from a pharmacy-cheap) to apply it to the indented areas of the emblem (on raised areas you'll need to use a brush-this method is just for low areas surrounded by a higher border) fill the area till the nail polish flows to fill the entire area. let it dry and you'll be amazed how nice it looks-like glass-and so far the ones I've done are durable....
