Another member posted a pic of this badge asking about availability, then a few days later it popped up on my evil-bay 914 Parts search email, so I got one & it looks very nice & is a heavy casting about 3" diameter.
No affiliation, but I wanted to have mine in had to see it, before recommending it here.
About $55 with shipping to the USA from Germany.

You may want to add some clear or black nylon washers between the badge/screw/nut & your grill to avoid scratching, or perhaps substitute the Porsche all black rubber or rubber+metal Speed Nuts as used on the grill letters, 914, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0 & Porsche Crest Badges.
Cheers!

I've already got mine, checked it over for all y'all, so you other folks will have to contact him if/when he joins about a GB or special rate, which he may be willing to at least knock off the evil-bay fee for sales directly on here.
This was his reply to me:
"Hi there many thanks for your email. It is amazing how more friendly 914 owners are compared to 911 owners, I will definitely try the forum because as you can see from my other items there are actually a number of others badges that are quite suitable for the 914 and give symmetry many thanks for the tip see you soon."
I love the 914 vs 911 owners comment too!

I don't know Jeroen, nor do I know if it is his design.
Maybe he sold, licensed or in some way cooperated on his design to the foundry who did them. You could contact the casting foundry whose name is on the back on the badge in the 2nd photo above.

I just discovered this badge exists, but the seller's offering on EBay has ended, so how can we contact someone to purchase the nice looking badge?

If you back track the listing using their "see original listing" link, then you can use the link to the sellers' store &/or seller, then send a message to the seller from there.
I have no idea if they still make or sell them.
