Original Carroll Shelby Motors Cobra License Plate Frame

[scuncio]

Hi folks - I have what I believe to be an original Shelby license frame that I bought from an older guy who owned a GT350 in the 1980s. The cross-hatched area on either side of the 'Carroll Shelby Motors' text is not present on the reproductions I've seen. Can anyone positively ID this as an original? I'm planning to sell it but want to be sure I know what it is. Thanks! Pics below:

tony, i passed this around to some of my cobra friends and they only said a lot of them were made over time - so hard to tell, however no-one had an original one to compare to.

Ill do some more checking.....nice frame IMO
