The question is, how to determine which are original? Unfortunately, the cobra medallions shown in the literature only show the front side of the medallion and not the reverse. The part number for the medallions is specified but not if markings and part numbers were placed on the back side of the medallions.
Here is the one I got off eBay a couple of days ago, just arrived, was not shown in the bag on the eBay listing. The bag is sealed with the Official Ford Liscensed Product tag on the front, so this medallion would be an official reproduction/release by Ford but not an NOS original. I was unaware of Ford releasing these again, an official Ford liscensed version. That’s what this one looks to be. It looks to be very good quality and nicely done.
Yes, thanks Bob! I’ve never seen an actual Cobra kit or original Cobra kit medallions. Now we know that a big distinction between the reproduction medallion from the original OEM and the NOS or used originals is the FoMoCo oval and triangle symbol on originals but not reproductions...guessing the additional triangle symbol is the manufacturer’s mark.
