I would expect some more seedy bubbles in it. the glass looks new.. but again I am not an expert... so its just an opinion... What does everyone else think?

I would think Mr. Heckler would have records of the auction he said he bought it from. Though I wonder why he wouldn'tuse Heckler to resell it. he does get top dollar.That being said: It looks like corner residue in the right lower corner. I don't know, but it looks authentic to me. Joel

"Purchased in a late 80's from a Norman C Heckler live auction in Warrenville Connecticut. I could not find my catalogs otherwise I would have dug up the lot number."No proof of if, when or how much. Perhaps it was and was sold as a repro for $2. Who knows, maybe not, the sticker doesn't tell. I doubt Heckler wouldn't have known in the 80's whether it was real or not though.
