Real deal 3932458 DA smog pulley?

I picked this up in a big collection of parts I bought and just want to make sure this is a real pulley before offering it for sale on here.
Any Opinions welcomed.

Thanks Anthony just want to make sure, looking at your Orange one the fonts look like mine but the other one there are no splits in the top of some numbers.

Yep, maybe compare with a known repop pulley and check the "9" digit...

The original stamping anomalies (splits) are known and I'm (I'd be) surprised that the reproduction companies are picking up on that... but confirm that 9 maybe with someone else as I'm no expert on these but that nine's tail looks different to me, just my opinion and worth what you paid for it. :)

XXXGoldL34M20 your pulley looks repop to me.

Around the part number is what I call the "Hotdog" stamp on the originals. I do see the outline of the "Hotdog" on the orange pulley and the black pulley that AnthonyS pictures show.

Thank you Warren !!! I agree, I know what you mean by "Hot Dog" it is that deeper stamp under the numbers.

Thank You Everyone.

Agree with Chuck. Must have the mark behind the #s. The OTC/later GM and reproductions either have #s without mark or ink stamped #

Don't go by the "hotdog" or "kidney" marks alone....they can be easily faked. The photo below is a repop. Based on original 458 DA pulleys I've seen, there are slight serrations (tooling marks) on the back side. The serrations would be very difficult to fake.
