Orginal Zonophone Concert V reproducer, or not?

Post by EKzono »

Hi,

I have this Zonophone Concert V reproducer.

I would like to know wether it is orginal.

I have two well known experts arguing if it is orginal. One says it is, the other says it is an older reproduction.

What do you guys think?

Lettertype and placing is a bit different than some…

But one of the experts said that there are 2 or 3 variations…

Also plate with lettering should be silver, but maybe there is some oxidation etc …

Help!

The lettering is on silver paper, which has been stained with rust.
