I was told Bill Shea confirmed this to be period, private purchase.

People will tell you anything if they think that it might seal a deal. It doesn't mean that it is true though.

Hello CJ. I m not entirely sure how Bill conducts his evaluations. But I literally just bought my SS armband off of him this past week. Along with it came a lengthy letter with a picture of the armband itself in which it listed the ownership specifically to me with my address and a certificate of authenticity of his evaluation and sale of it to myself. In other words ironclad provenance it came from him, and he certified it to be pre 45. I cannot see Bill Shea just giving a nonprofessional opinion on a TR era item without documentation. But I have nothing bad to say about the ruptured duck and my experience with them. If I were you I d call and ask them. I'm sure if he cleared it he'd remember as stated these when real are beyond rare. And Bill does sell some extremely rare items for certain. Best regards.
