Correct Grille Cavallino Horse emblem for 250GT PF Coupe

I am still trying to understand which is the correct grille emblem for my 1959 250 GT PF Coupe. Dennis McCann thinks it is a chrome on brass one whereas other people have told me it is a flat aluminium type. Can anyone help with this?

John, perhaps you can confirm which one is on your car.

Any other views greatly appreciated.

Sorry, just re-read the message from Chris Coios and Tom. It seems Dennis is correct. John, perhaps you can confirm what your one is like.

Regards,

Roger

Roger, I'll post a couple of pictures from my PF coupes of the grill emblem privately.

But mine are flat and feel like they are brass.

I too would love to know!! I have been involved with part restoration of a 250gte here in Aus which had an aluminum badge. I assumed this had been replaced with a circa 328 badge.
The front page of the 250gte handbook clearly shows the pressed 3D chromed version which is common to every 330gt I have seen.
Interestingly the same photo shows the grill screws as slotted not phillips -- something that surprises me greatly for a PF car.

Mine is a 1959, it is original, it is aluminum, screws in the grill are slotted,
the horse looks like it is engraved or something, and a darker color added to the engraved area, but it is very faded.

Roger,

The horse on my car is stamped sheet brass coated with chrome.
