From the photos, it appears all the lettering is stuck onto the plastic face, as opposed to other original signs where the lettering is formed within the plastic face. I'm not saying this sign is not correct, just different from what I've seen before. My mechanic worked at Ferrari Los Gatos for many years. I could show him the photos and see what his response is.
@dino70089 I wonder if the color bands are applied to the face in the same way the cavillino and lettering are.

@dino70089 Thank you so much for your feedback. Upon closer inspection of this piece, you are indeed correct that the illumination is more faint through the three color bands opposed to the remainder of the sign. I have consulted with the family that is managing the liquidation of this private estate collection, and unfortunately they have no additional information on this piece outside of what is presented in the photos and description.
God Bless
@dino70089 Thank you so much for your feedback. As I have limited experience with packaging fragile items, I plan to consult the local UPS store for proper packaging to ensure safe transit during shipping to its next home.
God Bless
I could be mistaken, but there's something that appears off to me. When illuminated, the top tricolor band seems completely opaque and does not let any or hardly light thru. I have a similar and original sign, and when illuminated, the green/white/red bands are visibly backlit. It makes me wonder if those bands may have been painted over.
The plastic in these signs is quite fragile especially when you factor in age. If not crated, I'd say there's a 50/50 chance that there could be damage in transit.
