Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate some help on this. I'm trying to distinguish whether this is an original or a repro. I've been looking at the tell-tale signs and have familiarised myself with some key things but I still can't tell for sure.
For your information - there are no maker's marks, the seat and ottoman cushion are interchangeable and the ottoman does not swivel.
Many thanks
(edited by DA - no links to ebay sales please)

Nope.
Not like any authorized version I've ever seen.

I'd guess that it's a reproduction.
I've never seen one with bright metal brackets on the back, plus the upper shock mounts look to small. But maybe I'm wrong.
Best,
Mark

Wow, it's quite a repro. But...
Wow, it's quite a repro. But like Mark said, the back braces don't look like that and the mounts on the back should be bigger. I've never seen cushion backings like that either although they have changed over the years. The current production has the rectangular clips whereas pre-71's productions had round clips. This looks very new but has the round clips. The configuration of the inside veneer also doesn't match anything like the original.
The A-face is smooth and seems to match the outside veneer though. Good job on that.
It's a nice copy, eapecially from the front. How much are they asking?

Thanks so much for your...
Thanks so much for your reply - no wonder I was struggling! Well, it's on the bid on eBay so no idea what it will go for. You're right, it's very close but no cigar! Going to have to look elsewhere.
Cheers all
