    Patina on the steel (chipped area on the decal) matches with the other chipped areas. But am no expert on paint either but I think it may be good. Too bad the liner is roached
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Looks like period insignia from what is visible in the photos.

    Appears to have the white stripes painted over chips? Perhaps it has been retouched at some stage. A nice lid though.

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    Looks good to me and I have seen many WW1 American lids, many good but some faked.

    Just my thoughts
