Hi Herve,
It looks brand new as opposed to having been made 60 odd years ago. Also the colour of the wings is different to any originals that I have seen (All have been dark blue in colour).
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Del.

Hi again,

You're right, It doesn't look like the certified originals shown on the forum ... hence my question...

Best regards .. Herve

Hello Herve
Seasons greetings ...
I imagine this is a useful template ... note the backing (or lack of it)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOUR-100-G...557&rmvSB=true

It would be helpful if other owners could confirm lack of fancy backing material in any genuine examples they own
Mike
