Are these original or old repro grill teeth??

[Ken G.]

Trying to figure out if these teeth for my 57 project are original or old repros. If original I will rechrome. Also there is a chunk out of one of the teeth, is it too big to be repaired?

I have tried to show a photo as an attachment, but I may be amiss in my technique.

Thanks

Hi Ken,
I can not tell from your picture.
Originals come to a sharp point in the front. Look on the back side for a GM # like 3706427 or 3706425 There are a few different #s because there are more than one size tooth.

The bottom line is that no one can answer that but as Dave said original's had part numbers casted in them and some repro's also did. The argument was always over weather the teeth had a sharp edge or not.
You have to decide that and hope a judge agrees because some don't.. I like Dave say they had a sharp edge ,now you have to decide!!

Can anyone show me a photo of what a "sharpe" edge is considered to be?
