    Hey everyone, I know this is an insanely weird post. But, recently my dad came across this trunk lid in a collection from a collector who unfortunately passed on. He ended out bringing this trunk lid home as he knew he recognized it from somewhere but wasn’t sure at first. Well after some research he realized that this trunk lid he took home is essentially an exact 1958 Testa Rossa 250 trunk lid. He is not very tech savvy so I am posting this for him. This was found in Washington State, we have done some research and found that give or take 20-30 years ago there was a Testa Rossa engine for sale in Seattle. I have uploaded all of the pictures he gave me, I would greatly appreciate some help identifying if this is indeed an authentic Testa Rossa trunk lid or not. Thank you everyone, let me know any questions and I will do my best to answer!! I originally posted this on Reddit and was told to come here with it. I haven’t been able to find any sort of stamping, any help locating that if it’s still there or ever was would be amazing!

    You've mentioned that you couldn't find any stampings and could use guidance on where to look if there should be any.

    It might also help to verify the authenticity by reporting the physical dimensions of key features. E.g. Length and width of the whole trunk lid, length and width and height of the hump, length and width of the flap opening, thickness of the sheet metal, etc.
