Ken,
I think it's worth taking a chance on it but you will never know until
you have it in hand.

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
From original post: ‘Back then, they used to produce the ribbons in two seperate threads. One was the warp and the other the weft. As a rule of thumb, if the ribbon has no weft then, most probably, isn't a good one.‘
Technically, if a ribbon had no weft, it would just be thread!
In any weave, in all fabrics, the horizontal thread (also known as a ‘shot’), is the weft - interlaced with the vertical warp threads.
The visible and pronounced bend, shown here, is simply the return.
In the modern/reproduction ribbons, that return is simply tighter and, therefore, less notable.
Looks like a genuine one to me as well. A UV light test would also help to put your mind at ease. Here is my genuine example
