It is definately not the museum copies for sale on the internet as there are too many differences between them such as the twist of the loop, the dots in the sword hilt are different, the alignment of the marks, etc.
With the placement of the dots in the sword hilt, it would be very easy to compare to known originals as this is a die characteristic to look for regardless of the markings on the back.

The arrow points out one detail that is easy to see on this type of fake. The vein starts in the middle of nowhere, instead of starting at the tip of the leaf.

Cheers.

This is NOT original and where do 50 years back take us? 1956. The oldest fake saleslists I have seen were from 1948–49!
