Those emblems are super nice, discrete but let the world know what's under your hood. I got a 454 emblem used on less than 150 GMC Sprint SP models for use on my LeMans grille. I suspect that 427 emblem you have was used on less than 30 full sized Pontiacs and Safaris.
Original usage of 454 emblem on GMC:
My usage on LeMans.

345 hp LS4 & 390 hp LS5 454's were available in the 1970 Canadian Pontiac full size cars.
Here's a nice off topic.....the LS4 was a single exhaust standard rating while LS5 came with dual. All GM Canada literature has a foot note that reads; Add 15% with dual exhaust. So if I ordered the LS4 with N10 dual exhaust option I'd have a combo that according to GM Canada would be 387 HP.
Given how rare they are, I would always be worried about them being a theft item. God forbid if they were damaged or destroyed in a fender-bender. It might be a lasting legacy to benefit Canadianponcho fans if you commissioned some reproductions of them. Dale's Musclecar Parts in Bracebridge, Ontario has a bunch of reproduction Beaumont emblems that aren't available anywhere else. I don't know where he gets them done but there used to be a place called Accufab that did the Beaumont emblems. I believe that is where Dale got them from (you would have to ask him). Accufab also recast boat nameplates; I believe that is where they got started in the business. I have not seen Accufab in business for maybe 10 years.

.......Dale's emblems are perfect and have GM part nos. on the back so he must have a license........bought all new emblems for our
67 Beaumont and they look great........expensive but probably cheaper than having the originals re-done.....I have noticed when old
emblems are re-done they lose some definition.
