If you mean the top center of grill, No. There should be a stainless steel holder in the crest shape with two or three studs which go into the pot metal. The emblem is a solid piece of painted or plated plastic which fits inside that holder. I don't know what kind of paint is used on those or if it's one of the plastic plating processes. Ordinary enamel and lacquer paints go on nicely and look decent from the back but are very dull when viewed thru the plastic the normal way from the front. I've tried plastic model paint and several lacquers but none looked worth a crap.

Every blue moon or so one of the vendors will have them reproduced. I don't believe there are any available at the moment although Max says inquire. Emblem Magic said they were out of stock as well with no real information given as to when a new run will be made. Website says orders placed today for not in stock items may be available in Autumn 2012--but that may be doubtful because they appear to be already late on November 2011 delivery.
