Reproduction doesn't seem to apply. A reproduction is a copy of an original item. I have not seen any evidence that this cover was ever an "original" Imperial era issue item. Bill's term "non-existent" is accurate. At best, it was an after-market commercial item from the 1920s offered by Pacific Arms and/or other distributors. They have been around for a long time, but not prior to or during WWI.
