It would be really easy.

But I am very leary of NOS parts these days..
I am starting to wonder on some of this as well. On the door handles I originally thought all aftermarket were plastic and easy to spot...found out a mfr is now making them like the factory in metal so it would be easy to make boxes/labels.

Also, most can't tell a difference between a NOS gate and the newer stamped gates...I can because I've had both but even I'd have a hard time identifying one by itself without another to compare...it's just in the spot welds and seam welds on the ends...

would be pretty easy for someone without morals to buy an aftermarket and stick a label under the handle and call it NOS and I'm sure they'd sell as many as they could on ebay for around 900-100 for a $350 gate and a $5 label... (don't get any ideas scammers )
