I sure could use some help again. Does it look authentic? Is it worth taking a chance on? Im assuming yes on both, but want to double check with the experts here.

Yes, it's authentic and I think I can see a Showa stamp and if that's correct it means this is a non-traditionally made Showato.

Thanks guy. So I don't overpay, what would be a fair price?

Sorry, I do not know the answer since I'm not a collector.
