Put the original back on; damaged or not.

Once a tag is ID'd as a fake, the whole car is called into question.

The edges are rusted, he thinks maybe a mouse nest on it? I'm just going off his opinion, car is rust free otherwise

The other problem replacing a TT is the car gets scrutinized more and validity called into question.

It's not a big deal he disturbed the tag. Just clean it up and screw it back on. Don't use any abrasive cleaning techniques.
You guys are just used to chasing earlier rare cars easily faked with a trim tag swap.
It's a 1974 and will never be confused as a hi horse model. The engine is coded in the VIN.

Yes as was said before 74 is a screw mounted tag year. If he lost those two special screws, all is not lost: they are actually the same screws that were used to attach the rear filler panel that goes between the trunk lid and the rear window, to the car.
