I am pretty sure it is original but I see the repros don't have spots for mounting the felt. Also the nuts on the shield appear to be 12-24 rather than 1/4-20 regularly. The standard hardware book says that 12-24 was used until April 28.

FYI - RGJS - page 13-3 - black painted 12-24 oval-headed screws used through July 1928. Page 13-4 - bead was only along the lower edge for 1928. Anti-squeak for all front shields indicated.


Snyder's does not show they have the 1928 front shield.
