I took as good of a look as I can at my NOS emblems and I see no pitting in the S at all, the original ones that I removed from my 68 are pitted. If you look at the pictures you will see the difference in the NOS and the re-pop's as far a shininess on the front and back sides. This could be because of the NOS emblems being in the older plastic bags but I do not believe so.
