...Jake, this isn't an attack, just some advice...
...if I were in your shoes, I would give SERIOUS consideration to permanently marking your repro highway shields as such, in a way that would ensure no one would be deceived down the road...it seems like the lack of such identification on your repro highway shields comes up every time you post something on Oldgas...
...I would think in the long run it would benefit you - your original items (and everyone else's) would hold their value and wouldn't be subject to such scrutiny...
I think this is great advice!
