MG MG Y Type - GB badge wanted.

I understand that in the UK now, the old bumper-mounted GB badge is persona non grata, and that it's supposed to be removed and replaced with a UK badge when travelling to Europe. Notwithstanding that, I have a nostalgic urge to place a GB badge on the rear bumpers of my wife's daily driver YA and my (eventually) ditto TC. I can find new reproductions from India - but with great respect, that's not what I want. I would like to find one or more badges that have "had a life", but are still in presentable condition; preferably black lettering on white background. Anyone here help point me in the right direction?
Thanks for any help. John (Y3348).

I did a quick search in eBay.co.uk and found these for you to check out and persuade the sellers to ship to Australia:

Great work thanks Paul. It'd be great to find one in Australia- I do see them occasionally in so-called antique shops, but otherwise ebay UK is a good idea. John.

John, I fly to Australia from UK in June. I'm in Queensland so if small sure could bring in one of suitcases, if it will be light weight which I'm sure it would.

That's very kind, thanks Richard. I may today have fluked a GB badge here in Aus, but I'll keep you posted. Ironic - I tried to catch up with you in the UK late last year, but promptly went down with a faux-Covid thing! Where are you going in Queensland?- visiting Tony S. I hope. We're up on the Tablelands near Cairns, so quite a way north. But you never know! John.

John,
International flight to Sydney, we have flight to Adelaide, road trip to Melbourne, fly to Brisbane, road trip to Cairns and then flight back to Sydney before flight back to UK from there. Just over month and still to confirm our plans once there having never been to Oz before.
Richard Knight

What news of the Cairns leg of your trip, Richard? I found a good GB badge over here on ebay, would you believe. Thanks for your offer of help. John.
