Default Pentastar Question!

HI
I know this maybe isnt the correct forum but hope to be forgiven!
What is the correct passenger front fender pentastar look like?
Theres a lot of "reproduction" and also some called NOS.
Is there a Chrysler logo and nr on the real thing?
Are they made of plastic or metal?
If you by something on ebay named as NOS Pentastar what will you expect?
Thanks in advance and best regards Olle B

I don't have it anymore but the original one off my Charger was metal with the pentastar and part number on it. Most of the ones I see now are plastic with a locating tab on the back and the 'gold' color doesn't last very long. Most of the ones that I've seen are gold with the internal star"lines" in black...... I've heard that the later years (unknown when) changed to plain silver but I don't know for sure..... if the ad says NOS it better be metal and in perfect conditon as that is what NOS means... New Old Stock... like off the parts shelf from the dealer....

Well,if you recive an emblem made of black plastic,gold foiled ,no markings of any kind,and the seller stills reclaim,,,this is a NOS,I must say,Im not convinced!!
Problem is to return the (NOS) emblem will cost me some 10$ and as I said,Im not sure what I recived,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I was sure that the NOS means a Chrysler logo at least,that what Ive been told from friends,but right now Im not sure of anything!!
Comments?
Best regards Olle B

NOS- New
Old
Stock
it will be metal with at least a part number on the back and a barb for a nut to hold it to the car
the new stuff is plastic with crappy gold over the black and just a nub on the back to center it in the hole on the fender
