OEM or Repop Steering wheel?
How do you tell between the two? I picked up a pretty nice, at least to me, steering wheel at a swap meet. Ended up buying 2 steering wheels and I'm not going to use this one. Before I put a price on it, I'd like to know if it's a real deal, or a reproduction, so I know how much to ask for it. Is there an easy way to tell the two apart, other than "the repop is more flexible than the original" comments that I see. I don't know what an original wheel feels like, so I can't compare to that.
Here's a couple of pictures...

Re: OEM or Repop Steering wheel?
Should be part numbers on the back of the spokes.

Just for what I can see by the grain it looks OEM to me.

Re: OEM or Repop Steering wheel?
Thanks guys. There are some faint numbers on the back of one of the spokes, right up against the hub. Also looks like a stamped letter on the back side of the ring - a "D" at the 12:00 position, and maybe one at the 6:00 position. It's possibly been refinished? The hub on the backside is completely black, like it's been painted. I just took some pictures on my phone, I'll see if I can post them.
