Not quite. The next sentence in OotP is: "He had seen a badge just like 
this on Percy's chest on his very first day at Hogwarts."
But, of course, this is a flint since in earlier in OotP badge is 
described as: "scarlet and gold" while is PS/SS it is: "shiny silver 
badge (...)  with the letter P on it"
