Markz, if you are unable to find a replacement emblem, there is a product called "J-B Weld". They have several different products designed for metal, plastics, wood, etc. If you carefully use the J-B Weld, you will be able to put the pieces back together. Then with some careful grinding and polishing with a Dremel tool or file, you should be able to make the emblem look almost new.
Another option is to place the two pieces together on a board and pour plaster-of-Paris over them to create a mold. You could then pour molten lead in the mold or if you know someone with a forge, you could use aluminum. I assume (you know how to spell assume, right?) that the break was clean and the emblem can be pieced back together with only a very minor crack showing. Using lead you would obviously need to spray
paint the end product to look like the original.
One other option would be to epoxy the two pieces to a sheet of metal. Then cut around the perimeter of the emblem.
