Hoping to get some guidance from the board on a potential purchase. I know this question comes up a lot, but I was wondering if any of the resident experts have some tells on whether or not this chair is a real knoll or knockoff. The cushion is certainly Knoll, as indicated by a tag, but unsure on the chair. Much appreciated.

Shape looks right
Any markings on the base? How does the swivel plate look (under the cushion)?

Here are more pics that you requested Woody, the base does not pivot.

Bottom markings
It also looks like the bottom is marked with
"BR 50"
Looking back at old threads on here, I am comfortable now that this is indeed the real deal!

No problem, I will delete all my posts as well, I really was just wondering whether or not I was buying a real or knockoff version of the Knoll Arm Chair, LOL.
