Key tag from factory

It's a heat treated steel stamp. I work for a specialty metal coating company so I know lots of folks in the metal forming industry. I sent you a PM.

Jeff, nice to see you again at the Treffen. The revised VW stamping looks great. I'll be sending in an order ASAP. Very Happy

Received mine today. Very, very well done. When compared to the original, the only difference is the original's "pocket wear".

Thanks Jeff, beautifully done.

Great! I am glad they arrived safely. I was having nightmares worrying that I might lose your original. Thanks again!

wow, reading this thread intriged me, my 71 Super Beetle came with the original keys, and the keychain also had that little keytag on it, however the number does not seem to match anything (certainly not the VIN) it is only 7 numbers long (my VIN being 10)
VIN is 1112833281
Keytag shows 1012483
I suppose that it's probably the wrong one for the car ? in which case I may need to order a replica Smile

Mine looks a little different though

I would have loved a "correct" style for my 71 (yeah I'm anal like that lol) but I'm still going to get one of those, just to have one Smile

Jeff,

I got my ket tags the other day and want to give you special thanks for making me the "one off" key tag for my 2007 Rabbit. It is the perfect touch to the rabbit's body off pan restoration. I know you thought I was being over the top when I asked for it, but I do appreciate your efforts.
