Hi
The badge looks original to me, but your pics are not very helpful.
FLL used a variety of bronze finishes, but with your pics it is difficult to see the colouring as it really is imo.
Angled shots of the catch and hinge would be useful.
You can buy a scanner for the fraction of a single badge. I know some guys prefer photos, but at least all would be in focus, and close to how it really looks.
regards
Graeme

Hi Alex,
I can only agree with Graeme and Chuck, a fine original FLL. Typical sloppy soldering for the hardware, very common with FLL badges. Yours looks to have some very nice finish remaining as well.
