I have found a set of six, what LOOK just like, Moller #75 chairs but there are no markings other than "Made in Denmark". They are in rough shape with about 4/5 of all the joints loose including most joints between seat back and legs It looks like they had cord seats but have been reupholstered in Naugahyde and are rough. Is there any way to verify that they are originals if so they might be worth?? restoring??
Appreciate any help Thanks Dave

I have seen a number of Møller side chairs that have limited/no markings. But it will be hard for anyone to express much of an opinion without a photo.

I have had some Moller 71's without any J L Moller marks before, they were simply marked 'Made In Denmark'.
Bizarrely I once saw a set of 71's which were marked 'Original Danish design made under licence in Holland' You could see that the dimensions were ever so slightly wrong, the only time I have ever seen a Moller knock off.
If it's just a case of loose joints that need re-gluing I wouldn't let it put you off, if they are nice chairs it may be worth investing some time on them. Pictures would be good.
