Bought this as NOS but no part number on the back. Did the original have one or not?

Thanks

Beg pardon, but the early ones did have the part number. You can see the photo of my original non-gold emblem on P914's web site. This emblem is original to my early /6 #0137.

AFAIK the only way to distinguish a genuine replacement from a repro is to weigh it, the repros are like three times as heavy (I want to say 50g vs. 150g). Reckon George would know...
