Very nice bike! I have seen this badge on a post war bike before but I am fairly sure it is not original to the bike.

I've seen three of these badges in a week. Chitown posted a picture of one in the Excelsior thread. I've got one in my display case, and now this one.
Before that, I had always wondered why my big E badge said Arnold Schwinn & Co. Chicago on it, when it was clearly a Michigan City Indiana headbadge.
