Harry, It certainly looks good. The letter font and angled placement looks good. I am always leery of lettering that is too straight.
Notice the blued pin on the original..looks unmolested. The reproduction has been in and out maybe several times. The hole is worn.
I always take a close look at the angle of the circle on the knobs. If it's rounded in a nice curve or too sharp. I try to look at the whole magazine not just a part of it.
Whoever did the repro did an excellent job on the wooden knob. Nice shape. Looks like a Gerald Tomek.
Maybe it's the light but the original? looks a weird color & texture to me..
