Thanks Giorgio.Hopefully others might shed some light on it.

I suspect it's an original Pekuro interior (artificially aged) transplanted into a repro cap.

I agree with Giorgio & Ben: upwards the skirt, girl, and we'll see the truth (I hope it is not too big ... ). I think that, for such a price, this request can not be considered offensive by the dealer

[enorepap]

Btw, it seems to me to see in pictures not. 5 some signs of a rather coarse seam. Maybe I'm wrong. If not, another clue against.

Agreed.

I realize the market is soft these days, but $9500 AU for an SS General's lid?

Bargain!!

Reminds me of more than a few occasions at the Kassel show back in November.

Me:
"Can I have a look at the pink piped SS schirmmutze please?"

Them:
"It's guaranteed original, very rare, price is 2000 euro"

Me.
"Err ok, danke schon, goodbye"
