So you're trying to tell me that it is not made by Porsche? And that someone faked this? With correct markings on the back? I have a repop one that doesn't have these logo's on the backside. I think you're wrong.
Mounting pins are not in the right position.

Well you did start the thread with Original orange bar hood crest, and if you look at the subtle differences of the stampings you can see them. The ring around the R on yours is fine and defined as are the 901 below it. Look closely at the letters of the Porsche and yours are 'sharp and crisp', even the head of the horse is wrong in fact Im sorry to say that the whole badge is so NOT period correct for an Orange hood badge,

Actually I studied my original orange hood badge today and saw more the more I looked. Back in these days things were hand produced, engineering was and castings were not always perfect.
The hood badge I have has a flaw above the P in orche. How many were made before they saw it who knows? Our cars were manufactured too give the owner/driver the best automotive experience they could afford. Porsche didn't really care to much for hood accessories obviously but it is what makes the difference of Original.

Reu has made new production orange bar badges for some time now. I don’t know why but they are shiny gold instead of dull plating like originals.
Hi Mark,
What year vehicle is your badge from? I'm on the hunt for an original one to suit my 70 S and am trying to educate myself on what would be period correct.
It came from a group of parts I bought from a friend who passed away. He parted out several SWB 911/912's [when they were cheap] for his soft window Targa project. It had a dried up piece of masking tape marked "68 912" on the backside. I'm not trying to misrepresent but that's all I know.
