Default Model A front fender

I have a front fender that I am pretty certain is for a Model A. I have done some looking around to confirm this and some people have said that there were 2 different styles of fender used in the later cars(30/31). Supposedly this has something to do with the shape of the front of the fender.


I have always gotten reliable info here so I thought I would ask:
Is what I have been told correct?
If so, what is the specific difference that makes one more hard to come by than the others?
What fender do I have?


Thanks in advance.

The two piece splash aporn makes it a '30. If the front edge has a design stamped in it then it would be an early '30 called an eyebrow.

It also appears that someone has added piece on the end that connects to the running board

So is an early '30 worth more than a late '30? I've seen some of them advertised for what were(in my opinion) ridiculous prices.

The early 1930 fender has an eyebrow molding stamped into its perimeter, and it is very rare. The fender pictured is a standard 1930 driver's side front fender, not the rare one.
