Do yourself a favor and take along some paint stripper.

Not sure if it is MANDATORY that every fender tag on a particular mopar left the assembly plant with an inspection mark. My gut says it is legit due to the appearance of pitting from corrosion on the bottom side.. Usually reproductions are nice and smooth everywhere on the tag......

Don't be fooled, I actually have a die plate stamp that embosses random pits on to fender tags before they're stamped, one comment from someone that I aged a repro tag for commented "now that tag looks really OLD"....

As someone previously mentioned, 1970 Lynch Road built B-bodies did not have the tag secured to the inner fender when the car was painted. It was hanging from the upper roof rail or similar area. That means they did not get more than a dusting of paint on them. They were then secured with screws to the inner fender after the car was dry. They don't have the typical bend up because an inspector didn't have to do that to punch a stamp in it (if it even got one). Well since there is hardly any paint on the bare steel tag they were very susceptible to rust. Plenty of years of humidity exposure to be sure is going to degrade that tag. I'd be very suspect of one that that is smooth.

I guess you need to look for a Broad cast sheet as part of the deal, if not one. Price accordingly.
