Have you checked out the museum?

One comment mentions first gen having silver stickers on them. Nobody disputed it either.

From my own research I did in the past, I could figure out that original Gen1-Gyros had all printed logos. Some chrome/silver pre production ones had silver stickers. Those are pretty rare though. As soon as they were made in larger numbers, they had printed logos.
Hope that hepls.
