Yes, best to post pictures to be safe, but the 60s chrome springers had a more rounded, cast steer tube at the bottom where the repros and maybe even the 80s schwinn accessory fork were straight machined tubing. Also, the ends of the legs and truss rods have a rounded less concentric crimp on the originals, where the newer ones are a straight line across or sometimes perfectly round. I say best to post pictures because there is a 1999 Krate version that looks pretty good too.

@freddy if you still need help identifying ones you are looking at just look at these pictures of the stamped ends the little circle with the two lines inside also the reproduction ones have larger AS bolts and you could just tell by the crimped ends
