It looks genuine to me(but what do I know)the unusual thing is the maker is
from Bombay!.It is in very good condition with only one small moth hole under
peak and a small hole where the top of the badge has gone into the stitching.Can you give me any advice as to how to tell if it is the real deal because I am thinking of selling at the right price.regards to you all Len.
