That's why I have it listed under reproductions. I found this in a barn many years ago.
The size is marked ET71. The batch number is hard to read as you can see. The size on the leather looks like 59 71 but hard to read. It looks like someone tried to cover the rust many years before because there is over spry on the liner band. If you need more pictures or have any questions contact me.
