Hood emblem

I have the original 1953 hood emblem for my Jubilee, but obviously very worn. Has anyone every restored one of these? How about just chrome plating? I'd like to stay original, I know you can buy after markets. Thoughts?

Most things are restorable but a restorer would have to hand work any pitting, it gets expensive. its also hard to find a quality plating shop to do as good as the original plating. Brown Plating Service in Paducah, Kentucky used to do work for me. Phone: (270) 554-1146. They can give you an idea of cost. If you have a youngin around to send them pics that'll help. I like things as made too.
 

I looked into getting one replaced before repos were available. It is much more expensive than a new one.
