These were reportedly removed from an authentic convertible Shelby during restoration. I'm looking for opinions on their originality. They appear to have been repaired previously, regardless of the seller's claim.
:o
Look real but either heavily media blasted or baked in the sun for a long time
Top one in first pic looks like a repro.
I agree looks like one original and one that is a reproduction or one so heavily repaired its the equivalent of a reproduction. The person that stripped these did a poor job.
One definitely has a bad repair, that's for sure. Thanks for all the help gentlemen.

or could be something that was immersed in our Floridaland salt water
would continue the quest for better examples
Best of luck on your endeavours
