Can anyone tell me whether it is a factory hood or a repro? https://drive.google.com/file/d/15ws__tms391MLCp43mOl7o6WNWjeI3w4/view?usp=drive_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q7O-946l9M9dGSd6mbkvYp2e7G42FkuW/view?usp=drive_link Last edited by ackpht; 06/05/23 12:13 AM.

Maybe the mold was made from a hacked-up original. But this thing dates from the '80s, so who knows? Thanx for the photo. Last edited by ackpht; 06/07/23 08:50 PM.
