Anyone know? 20th Anny Emblem - Real or Repro

[capriman86]

Does any of you's know the difference between a real one and repro?

Are there repro's?

I just bought this one and was curious?

Either way I don't mind, as I just wanted to put one on the dash.

What do you know?

This is just on my flatbed scanner, I can take a crisp close up pic if you need.

Hmmm...this is a pic of the 7800 mile one that was just on ebay (I'd have to assume it's original)...The pony on this one is raised...yours looks sunken in...I'd say yours is a repro?!?!?!

[capriman86]

Wow an optical illusion

The stripes dont look right. Kinda like when you give a 3yr old a coloring book and tell them to stay between the lines.

I didnt even think crayon .....the embosed colors do not look right..they look painted...JM2C

[capriman86]

Ok I noticed those crayon lines too....that is what made me question it. :D

I got it for $50 shipped, so its still a great deal and will fill that void.....was just curious

Wonder if Rich has any from his Anny's

OHHHH RICHHHHHHHH

[tripice351]

My Anny still has its badge, I'll check Monday for color line straightness.. GT350R has like 3 or 4 tho, he should know. :)

[capriman86]

thats right I forgot you 2 also had them...thank you

[n20capri]

Wow cool optical illusion...still looks a bit off though...like the casting isn't as nice...plus the paint.

[evlgt85]

Holy crap...it's like one of those magic image things...I just had it flip back and forth while staring at it. This is crazy.

Seriously, like stare at it, and kind of unfocus and then stare while not letting your eyes leave the image and it'll flip or something.

And people wonder why I've never done drugs...

[capriman86]

I can't make it go back anymore. I saw it ONCE when Mike posted it was backwards.....now all I can see is it correctly. WTF?

MY EYES MYY EYEEEEESSSSS:eek:

[n20capri]

[capriman86]

ummm you guys are crazy, its still out

[fred414141]

[GT350R]

Thanks for the info!
So was $50 shipped good for a repop? I am thinking it was as I can't
seem to find originals for cheap money WHEN they even show up.

I don't know what these repop's costed

[GT350R]

I think the cheapest he ever sold them for was 50 bucks. He didnt make alot of them. He has also been pretty bad off health wise. So I doubt he will ever make more.

As for 50 bucks......... before him. You couldnt touch one for under 150. Even then, you had to wait forever to see one on Ebay, and chances are you would not actually win it.
So 50 bucks and you get one is pretty good in my books.

[capriman86]

Thanks for the info.....aweful to hear he isn't doing well heathwise :(

I am happy with it :cool:
It will fill that void on the dash nicely.


Oh...ps..... evlgt85 I waited HOURS, the emblem is still out :confused:

[evlgt85]

It's out for me this morning, too! Is the spell broken?!?!

[capriman86]

I am beginning to think it was never in

[GT350R]

That is pretty weird. Forst time I saw it, it was out. Then after I looked at the other one it was in. Now if I look at it, it stays in, unless i stare for a second at the "sary".

[tanner321]

could be an original that was repainted???

nah, i think its a repo, casting is pretty rough compared to a org ive seen.



edit: oh yeah...Oh own page two. :d
