I sent him an original to reproduce these. So I believe he now carrys the repros. Honestly, I can't tell any difference in what I gave him from these.

gold = anodized aluminum
silver = chrome plated plastic
I was like, "WTF?" I received no such task, nor am I capable of repro work on these. Oh, that guy.
I have a NOS in plastic, on the factory cardboard gold on that I would gladly trade for a silver one. I dont like gold.

Not all - my 73 2L has chrome plated metal, & IIRC the change came in the 74 MY sometime to plastic - along with the rear badges to black plastic & a bunch of other plastic parts changes.

Sorry to confuse you. Why not just hold on to your original and buy a repro and paint it
. That way you're not killing an original.
