Does anyone know how to tell the difference between an original 67 grill and a reproduction?

What do you look for?   I have 2 im going to list for sale but want to make 100% sure they are legit.

Thanks

This was recently discussed on the Forum. I saved a couple of photos and descriptions relative to the outboard style. I do not recall who the original poster was, but I will give them credit anonymously.

First photo - 67 Shelby grille original - one piece stamping, mesh is narrow outboard style

Second photo - 67 Shelby grille reproduction - multi piece welded mesh and light tabs, mesh is wider inboard style

Thanks JD.

I listed one on ebay at no reserve.    (looks original to me but willing to defer to others)    Has a pop rivet on each end where the hood pin lanyards were once installed.
