What make this look like a repro? originals are stamped, and this one shows no signs of being stamped in addition, the "wave" symbol between the two rivets looks a little different than on other original VIN tags but of course, I don't know for sure ... Not sure what you mean by signs of being stamped. The un-changing parts of the plate were stamp embossed, and the serialized VIN numbers were stamped. Burton...to my eye, you frunk VIN plate looks legit. Here's a side-by-side with mine, which is original...and a jpg of one of the repops below. Look closely at the spacing between the embossed letters. That's indicative of being stamped by a die that was common to all cars. Your "imperfections", with the exception of the double stamp, look identical. The repro tag's embossed letters are not as sharp as the OEMs. In particular, look how the "g" is filled in on "Heizg". If this were a coin, you'd have someting priceless! Of course, this is just my opinion...and I'm heavily medicated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
