Guide headlight

#1

Post by Wallie »

Hy guys,

Im looking for a guide headlight for some time. Hard to find in good shape.
Now i saw this. But i doubt about the originality of the shell.
Looks like as if the 'Guide made in US' was stamped home made.
Could one of you compare it with one of your shells.
Would be helpfull.

Wallie.

It's got the stamp on the bracket, I'm not sure if the remakes do , that bracket should be cad, so it's been plated over.
I'll post a picture of mine,
