looks real to me, but looks like it's missing one of the two bolts. It's also missing the gasket.
I paid about $100 for mine in very good condition with gasket.

Looks just like my piece of junk repro with a missing screw. So irritated with mine because its so loose it wont stay in position. I guess the new ones are ok though from what I heard.

The repros don't usually have the three stars in the logo and I've seen genuine Durants go for $300.

Repros do have the stars and logo, but you have to see it side by side with a real one to determine if the imprint is clean enough.
Repros cost between 60-75 depending on the dealer selling them btw- Do NOT mount one on the passenger side of the car as it is useless there

If installed on the passenger side , even in the correct set back position by the triangular glass; only the passenger will be able to use it. there is not enough angle adjustment in the construction of the mirror to allow the driver to use it. And the surface area that you can see , as the driver, is pretty dismal
If looking for a round mirror that actually is somewhat useful , on the passenger side, you may want to look at Talbot style mirrors. There are junior and larger size, with the nod towards the larger unit. The pedestal needs to be tall enough so you can position the mirror for the driver to use it. Aardvark international sells them Rectangular mirrors are another option, with now available 73 sized repros (the new ones that are well built) , and 77/78 bmw mirrors (only slightly larger ) . Both are useful for a passenger side mirror. Again, you must position the passenger side back and up on the door, next to the triangle window. Check out a 911SC or 84 up model for an idea on how porsche does it
