Here's an original A212CW element for a '67 L-79, showing the band-soldered joint in the correctly-patterned retainer screen, the A212CW embossment on the upper seal, and the yellowish oiled paper element; Paragon used to make an excellent reproduction, but the tooling wore out several years ago. Genuine original elements are bringing about $1,000.00 if you can find one. Otherwise you get one of the other reproductions (which aren't even close) and take the judging hit.

This is the filter that was on R66 when we got it. Is it original, reproduction, or service replacement - Missing the W. Don't know why I haven't trashed it yet.
