These are original to '73s (pot metal/chromed leading edge/flat black on inner fins)... Guess it's easier for the repo companies to reproduce in plastic instead of metal...

I just had mine re-chromed and they look very similar to yours... Now I need to decide the best method to get the black sprayed on the interior of the fins...

Metal are rare, only plastic on the aftermarket. Yes the orgional was black back and chrome tipped. the real rare one in any form is the center for a 73. Have seen those go for $300-400.
