Does anyone recognize the stamps on this 67 fender? Is is repo, OEM, or NOS?
I could be wrong and don't profess to be an expert but I seem to recall 1990's repro fenders having that symbol

Most likely repro because it is not OEM. That fender looks so far from new that it is obvious you are not aware that NOS means NEW old stock . I am glad you asked so that you can make a informed decision on whatever situation that you have.
I know what NOS means, I used the term incorrectly...is the fener something that might have been originally installed on the car or is it a factory replacement part or is it a repo part?
I think the question is "if the fender is a Ford stamping?"

I am not trying to be argumentative but I think your question has been answered. Reread reply #2. "Most likely repro because it is not OEM." . If it is not OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) then it can not be a factory replacement. The odd trademark seen in your picture is not Ford.
So are you saying its not original?
🤪
Dealer installed?

Okay thank you.. a repo....good communication is easily blurred on internet forums. I saw a "most likely" and an "I could be wrong" which led me to believe we were still lacking certainty.
Consider yourself lucky that only one fender was repo'd and not the whole car.
(Nyuck, nyuck. Please pardon me having a little, and hopefully harmless, fun with blurred communication on an internet forum. ;))
Those aren't my finders in the picture, I just wanted to check before I tried to source a set to replace the current repo fenders on my car. I do need two fenders. :'(

Yes - Service replacements. The "A" is not part of the date coding IMHO
Definitely NOS Ford, Black versions. I have yet to learn too what the "A" stands for, and yes maybe the digit number is the manufactured year, seems reasonable anyways. I've seen A80, A84, and now the two posted here.
