Silver crests were available from several vendors for the past 5-6 years or so. THEN Porsche realized they were being sold without THEIR permission and that they were NOT a Porsche authorized part! They immediately threatened all of those vendors to cease selling Silver crests. So.....some of those vendors still have some silver crests stashed away but cannot sell them on the open market. And if a vendor sold one privately to an "undercover" Porsche legal eagle, the seller could be in deep poop. Nothing to keep a person from selling one on Ebay though, so keep an eye open!
