It is sounding better all the time. It is possible that you have a very excellent condition original. It is certainly a lot more authentic looking than the reproduction copy I have and the color in your latest photos is mucn closer to my original. Paper products are even more difficult to authenticate from photos than guns, and we certainly know that is a slippery slope. I think your gut may be correct.

Yeah its original,IMO. It has that ambiance thats hard to describe,without having in hand. Like you described,the paper is from a time when things were printed much differently. the smell is something else too.

I think what throws it for a loop, is because its in such great shape. It sat on a book shelf or desk all of its life,would be my hunch(its spent almost 30 years in my dads safe,since he had it)

Thanks,

Mike
