Does anyone know if Hans Wegner ever had any of his "The Chairs" (JH-503) made without the makers signature?

I found a pair that seem credible, but the current owner can't seem to find any markings, and all the ones I've seen online seem to have either the PP Mobler or the Johannes Hansen branding. 

Also curious who made vintage replicas, I know Danish Deluxe did, and Empire State Chair Company. But were there others?

There were other vintage knockoffs. It was a popular chair back in the day. There is even a photo of a vintage display at an exhibition which shows a bunch of fake Round Chairs. I have it saved somewhere and will post it if I can find it.

There are probably a few legit chairs out there without marks. Do you have photos of the chair, including joint details and the underside? The details are the best way to confirm a legit chair.

Turns out they were reproductions, close but the wooden connectors on the base were wrong. Thanks!
