I don't think so...
1. Whenever you have clear evidence of corrosion as on the rivets and buckle but no apparent "distress" on the surrounding leather, in my experience, is a clear sign of artificial "ageing".
2. Buckle retaining pin: crude and straight. Threre is no bend on the tip to "mate" with the roller bar.
3. Evidence of artificial darkening of thread at snap. (Black dye line discoloring brown dye of hanger).
4. Leather retaining strap: Holes are too large and just don't look "right".
5. And finally there is clear evidence of black dye on all sides of the cut leather hanger to hide the tell-tale signs of "new" leather in a attempt to pass this "new" repro off as an aged original piece.
Sorry, for the news but this just what I see along with the other points brought out by my collegues. Oh, the eagle stamp...They could have done without that touch but it just makes this whole "thing" scream fake even more.
