I or anyone else could go on their website right now, and order official badges from any one of those GLO's, and they don't have to be a member of that GLO. My mother could go buy me one, and she doesn't have to prove that she or I am an Lambda Chi. Our Lambda chi badge was originally inspired by Kappa Sigma's badge in 1912. Ancient history, our founder had no nefarious intentions by owning one of these.

I believe that part of being the official jeweler for a group involves verifying with the group the membership of who orders the actual badges. I think you can order a lot of the other stuff, but I don't think you can actually get the badges without their confirmation with your national group.
And I think the point about the 100 year old badge is that it couldn't be as advertised because the name ADPi wasn't in use in 1904.
ETA: You have to do more than confirm through IHQ. You have to order through IHQ.
