Looks like ya got a 59 Phantom, but nope. Plus, I've never even seen that badge too.
 
I've looked at hundreds (maybe thousands) of badges, but this first time I've seen that one. Pretty cool man! Barry

That has to be a custom made piece by that Cabe member in Puerto Rico?.. If it was a real Schwinn badge stamped Majestic, I think it would've been done earlier in brass. Not many other non Schwinn stamped aluminum badges that I know of were used other than Goodrich and Spitfire.

You stumped me for a minute, I remember seeing a few badges used up into the sixties on Schwinn bikes. I can't find any of them other than this one, Ive seen them on 1960's Corvettes. I'll keep looking through my photos and see what I can find. Barry

Hacks and the others during this time had their badges made and they were not installed by Schwinn, nor do they have Schwinn, Schwinn Built or AS & Co Chicago Illinois on them. The old Cadillac, Excelsior, Admiral badges among others were made and installed by Schwinn and were brass right?

What I'm getting at is badges like this were made and installed by Schwinn, not by a department or hardware stores that had nothing on their badges related to Schwinn.
 
I don't know the OPs badge sure looks like an original badge to me. Its embossed in the font I would expect to see from a period Schwinn product and does not look like a custom piece to me. V/r Shawn
