I think that since bumpers were a dealer installed extra, there could be more than one correct bumper, I got a 1928 front bumper in a trade that is complete except for the center medallion. (it is currently in early surface rust.) Life's a long winding trail, love Jesus and ride a good horse!

Australia	If you look at the January 1928 Service news page 11, yes the inserts are painted black .I bought a set recently that are the same style but have not been painted ,same as yours all chrome I guess that they never got around to it or just could not stand to paint them after the cost of re plating .
