Original Tecumseh HS40 172cc Decal????

[FunWithStuff]

I picked up these Tecumseh decals recently and was wondering if anyone knowledgeable on Tecumseh parts knows if these are genuine or not. Upon first glance I believe they are real. These were Tecumseh decals with a part #33309. This particular decal was used on HS40s starting in the mid 70's I believe that included the CC for the engine (172).

I've seen tons of repops of this decal but this is the first I've ever potentially come across a genuine Tecumseh one. I can't find any information about this specific Tecumseh part # online so that's why I'm asking on here. Any help or comments is appreciated!

@markus may know.

He knows so much tecumseh information.

Its real, it will probably disintegrate in water if you try to use it though

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Yeah I did not plan on using it I was planning on "archiving" it to keep an original Tecumseh decal still new and unused in its packaging.
