#1 Horn push

Hi chaps,
Is this possibly original or just a better repro?
White squares are complete without corners cut off and jaguars ears are inside black squares.

Yes I looked at that comparison Geoff, this one I’ve found seems “not quite there” compared to the lovely original but considerably better than the repro. I suspect repro but a better copy perhaps?

Maybe. It’s to go on my MK2 Coombs tribute so not really too fussed as to whether it’s original or not just as long as it looks more authentic than some of the dreadful repro’s.
