I did not buy this car as a real L78, but I can't tell if these tags are fake. I am going to put several together and compare. Thanks all for the input

Charlie,

The numbers on your tag look crisper but I just can't be sure like you guys. I will have to study more. These fake tags are getting better and better.

Sometimes I can spot these from one or two obvious errors. I can't tell on this one. Try and get an opinion from Kurt S. over at CRG. He is pretty good about spotting the fakes.

Try posting a pic of your tag that is less blurry and we can get a better comparision. Does your camera have a Macro setting ?

Repro, due to both the date (see Jon's post) and the tag.

Knappy,
Now that I see the tag more closely and sharper, I'm sorry to say I see a couple wrong fonts. I think it's a restamp.
