not too big into accessories, but never seen one like it.
the VW symbol is pretty crude.
thinking this was made by some craftsman along the way?

I thought it was the ozzie one too. I don't know if they've done a batch of repro or not though

That is a repro.
Yes, they are an aussie accessory, but have been reproduced in Australia, the UK and USA over the years.

Anybody have any ideal where I can purchase one of the reproduction hood ornaments ? I did see one on e-bay but not worth the $255 asking price.I really want one of these on my 69 Bug.Thanks

The one pictured is most likely a repro from Air Cooled Accessories. I dont believe they are currently making any. I do recall people complaining about cast marks. I bought one from them awhile ago and have no complaints about it, I was aware of the cast marks beforehand. The one you have seen on ebay is flat. I personally dont like it. This one is 3d so to speak. You can try and email ACA and see if he has any left. They are in England I believe.
