Default 400 Firewall ID Brass plate

Geoff Dowdle emailed the attached photo to me a couple of days ago, it's of a reproduction Firewall ID Brass plate which he bought from Germany.

The seller lists another one for sale here, but looking at his store he has similar plates for other cars and I would imagine he made more than two.

Reproductions are usually done in 2 ways, Etched or photo over the brass.
Etched is by far the best and is the original method and will last the
life of the car. Photo looks the same, but fuel oil and time will dull and
fade the print. Within some 10 years all you will have left is the brass
plate with some barely legible wrting.
