Larry, You're right, and your "certificate" will always be a Special Airworthiness Certificate (8130-7), even if it happened to be reissued for some reason after flying off the test time, as long as the plane doesn't meet the requirements for a Standard Airworthiness Certificate, which isn't likely.
