Does it have any distinguishing marks to differentiate it from an original?

Sorry, no.

Maybe you could make a chainwheel for Pactric (hoofhearted)....but he'd know the difference in the back of his mind.

I was thinking the same thing Bri.

This is an original Chief chain ring. Notice the subtle narrow "step down" on the outer ring just before teeth and of course, the D for Dayton. There are ALWAYS details separating OEM from new production.

Incredible work as always john.

Maybe its just me, but I don't see the re manufactured ring.
Unless the patina on all the pictures is part of the exact fab technique that John is so good at.
I don't think the little D stamp will be a problem for John, if all the Chief rings actually had that detail.
