Unfortunately, I believe this one is a fake. The cupola is too pointy and the grass pattern is incorrect. The catch is set too high on the reverse as well.

Am I right in thinking that the tracks have the tell-tale 'blob' sign of a fake also?

Ralph's nailed it

. It's a Staegemaier copy first seen around 2007-8, and is known as the "üü" fake. It's pretty good as these things go, but careful examination shows up the problems already mentioned, including various flaws, especially on the reverse side. Here's a silver example of the same badge from Staegemaier's catalogue.

Regards, Ned.
