Steering wheel identification

I just came across a steering wheel while cleaning up my father's shop after his funeral that I believe may have been from his 79 vette.

It's about 14" in diameter, 3 spoke, either chrome or polished Alum. (I didn't really check), leather wrapped, has a 2 3/4 inch bolt circle with 6 chamfered holes and a 2 1/4 inch center hole with 6 notches.

It also has "Made in France" stamped on the back of the bottom spoke.

Does this sound like it came from his vette? I'd kinda like to hang onto it if it was.

I am pretty sure that no Corvette parts or any GM parts are or were made in France.

Can you take a picture of it, and Post it here? Would be fun to try and figure out what it came off of.

John, here's a couple pics of it.

What do you think?
