Vasek Polak license plate frame: real thing or repro?

[BrentF]

Is this the real thing or a repro?



Doesn't have this on the back:

Here's a thread --- see post# 183 . . .
http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...Frames./page19

. . . and here are some pics . . .

For me --- the biggest 'tell' is the cross-section of what I call the 'verticals' --- the sides of the frame. Real Deal/OG frames have a noticeably-rounded cross-section . . . whereas re-production bits are more squared-off

Also --- all VPs that I've seen + believed to be genuine . . . are RWBs, so . . .


Nothing wrong w/ re-pro bits . . . as long as you price/represent them accordingly

Thanks! Very helpful info. Confirms my belief this is a repro.

I don't know.. NONE of the repros I've seen had the Robert W. Brown at the back. But, I'm no expert

His didn't either Mark, there is a caption under the first picture I missed it first time also.

I recognize that Audi one.
