The images are probably far too small for anyone to make a meaningful observation about the chair.

The photos are a little small so I can't really tell what we are looking at here- but was the man certain that it was a replica? Sometimes older folks just don't know what they have...clearly as demonstrated by the upholstery that was chosen for recovery...
also here are some past threads that talk about the "svend skipper" and identifying marks- http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th...

my two cents
It would appear to be the real deal to me. I'm sure there are far more qualified people on the forum to give you a definitive answer on it, but from the research I've done on them it looks like the Wegner. The paws on the knockoffs are usually a dead giveaway.
If it is genuine, congrats on a gorgeous chair (albeit with hideous fabric). Earlier this year there was a Papa Bear with matching ottoman at auction in rural Iowa I thought I could snatch up for a decent price... it went for $5,000.

..you hit the jackpot!
congratulations!
I don't think there were any knockoffs being produced in denmark.

it seems teak to me?
the inside is beautifully constructed out of solid beech.
How much did you pay if I may ask.

I believe the Danish Furniture mark was first used on furniture in 1959 or 1960. There was a thread a few years back.

Rosewood
Looks like rosewood to me.

Since it
clearly was reupholstered, perhaps (at the same time) the wood was stained -- perhaps to match other pieces in the setting. In that case, it might be teak ?

Have you pulled away the...
Have you pulled away the rest of the dust cover on the bottom of the chair, to see if there is any additional stamps, such as an AP Stolen mark?

Paws
I seem to recall someone saying that the paws on genuine papa bears are removable?

Te chair is
Genuine as the balck danish furniture makers control board is applied by the manufacturer as a sign to show that the chair was tested by the furniture board and approved.
The paws are teak but in aweful dirty stained so can be brought back along with the legs to the rich colour using a little time and effort.
They are fitted to the frame with dowls so will pop out using a flat blade and gently lifting it.
You need them out anyway so the upholsterer can fit thefabric and piping.
Wen you upholster it make sure to get images of a official chair so you get the right look.
Some upholsterers simply drape a single piece of fabric over the back instead of the sewn squares. The sewn squares signify where the buttons fit. 4 squares meet and at the point is where the button is fitted.
