Need some help with this A-frame

[Burman2025]

Hello everyone,

I would like some help telling whether this is an original A-frame or a reproduction. I question its authenticity and would like to know some tips on telling originals from reproductions.

Many thanks in advance

I would say fake- I don´t like the materials used... but I am not an Expert for A frames so wait for other replies too...

And they stopped making them long before 1944...

Yes, a typical fake with thin webbing used for the hooks. Another fake give-away is the cloth "tape" at the bottom that covers the seam - it is NEVER on both sides of the A-frame on original packs.
