Has the early hood crest bubble burst?
A few months ago this crest would have sold for $200. Now, just $61?

I guess everyones figured out that as they were on every single 911, 912 & 914 built for a period of ten years they are really not that rare!
Is this one real or a repro? |

The front of that badge is nearly identical to the reproduction that Stoddard sells for about $45. The markings on the back are different but they're both repros. The gold plating is way too bright and cheap-looking and the pebbled background is wrong. Here's a real one:

Lee, you did the impossible: sold the single highest-priced orange-bar hood crest in history. It's all been downhill since your sale.
