Shell and eagle look fine , I am less experienced with FJ leather so let’s see what others say.

The reason i ask is I believe the shell and decal are original, but the liner is fake.

or something is wrong, stamps are strange and the condition is not consistent.

My opinion...

yes the shell and the decal ( missing a good close up) are original.. strap looks ok too.

Small pics but this is what i see.

As for the leather i am not a fan either... bad looking stampings for sure

I concur, shell/paint/decal look okay from these (poor) pictures.  I do not like the liner or straps.  Both just a little bit off, but some of the better copies I've seen, I believe.

Cheers, Terry

Frighteningly good repro liner !! Stampings give it away. But any doubt on these liners...one smell confirms for sure. Can't repro that odor on originals

Thanks, D
