Hi Guys, I would be obliged if you could run your eye over this lid for me. I was thinking of buying it but am not sure of the originality. OR

Cheers in advance

I believe the liner and decal are originals. The stitching running at an angle through the finger adjacent to the joining section of the liner is an indicator of it's originality. The grey outlines on the decal tend not to be found on repro decals either. The brown chinstrap is correct for the earlier issued ones. No I would vote it original.

For your info , the decal is a fake that appeared on many dealer sites for quite some time now . I discussed this one on many forums and warned collectors about this "ET" looking copy . It is pretty well done bu has many bad typical features ....like this grey outline Not saying original ones haven't but surely not the same way
