63 Valiant Correct Grille Embleme?

[painsinner]

Hi folks,

one question: is this the correct grille embleme for a 63 Valiant?
It says "PT 2276938 SN CAV 1" stamped on the backside of the outer ring.
On the inner V it says: "PT # 2276937 CAV 1

Thx in advance for your help!

It looks like the right one to me. Definitely not a '64 or '65 emblem, could potentially be a '62 Signet emblem -- would need to see the back of it. It's missing the paint; half the "V" should be red and half blue. Chrysler engine red and Chrysler engine blue work great.

Thx so far Dan, I appreciate the painting tips 8) . Here goes the backside:

I stand by my vote: this is probably a '63 Valiant item.

Definitely not 64 8)

Just remember, " Red is Right ", so red is on the right half as you look at it head on.

This AM I snapped these two pics of a very clean '63 Valiant's grill and trunklid emblems (celphone-quality pics, sorry):

Thank you Dan!
Yes its the right one. I tried yesterday to mount on the grille and it fits 100%.
Is the embleme all chromed or does it have black paint or is it only shadowing in the photo (your first pic)?

Black paint in the recessed ring.
