I have a NOS one that came from a Jeep dealer that closed. I'm asking $300. Shipping from 24012.

[Ben Dover]

It appears to be a repro.

[jollyjeepers]

How can you tell? Being that it was at a Jeep dealership, I thought it would be new. Tell me what you see so I'll know. And if so, what's the range of value?

Thanks!

There are no mounting holes for the Rifle Holder Brackets, and the bracket normally welded to the inside of the lower tubing is not there. You can confirm by viewing the illustration of the Windshield in the TM and ORD 9. Auttorized Jeep Dealers had access to aftermarket parts, and received flyers from the repro parts warehouses in their mail. ACME, comes to mind.

Thanks for the info. I'm not an M-series person so it's nice to learn something. What is a fair value to sell this at?

Or a CJ3a frame.

[Ben Dover]

That is a posibility, but the CJ-3A frame has the hinged ventilator door with a spring loaded latch. Also the rods attach differently to upper brackets, they are threaded with a nut on the CJ-3A and go straight into the brackets, M-38 rods go thru the side of the brackets. The primer hints of Acme.

Are you still looking for a windshield frame? I just picked up a CJ2A and it has a few M38 parts on it that I'd like to swap out. I'm half a world away from you though...

It's still OD under the white paint, but there's no glass left.

Here's a pic of the w/s frame I have:
