Here is a pic of our repro and the guard. I brought this from a bloke who removed their guards in 1980 to fit GTS ones.

As you can see the colours we done if anything are more glossy.

This guard the decal I can say is original. Its 100% screen printed. No one has done screen printing except us and the old sandman Club.

I have also got a photo of some NOS ones that the sandman club used for the sample. I however will not post that pic up as I do not have permission from them. If someone would like to see it email me and I will forward it. You will see that the colours are the same as the guard I have compared to the sandman clubs NOS stripes.
