The Meister Schaften badge is all gold...no black.
It commemorates racing wins and was on the dash of most '56 thru mid-'58 models. There were three different badges. On 1956 cars the plaque indicated "1950-1955." On '57s it read "1950-1956." And on '58s it said "1950-1957," which is the badge most replicas have...actually not the right one for a 1957 model.
