Hi, recently received this chin cup. Would like to know what the experts think. Compared to my books it looks okay. But never handled one before. Thank you.

Thank you for the responses. I have been informed on a Facebook page that it is a first class reproduction made by theriggerdepot.com. Joshua DeJong could tell it is a reproduction made by himself because he used brass eyelets instead of zinc. Also I have been told the zinc should not give the green verdigris. 

 

It is comes scary close to the original.

I'm not so sure. I don't know that I have ever seen one of these where the metal turned GREEN with verdigris. The zinc eyelets should turn GREY. Also, the eyelets look a little bit larger than the ones I have seen?

 

I know that there is at least one source for some SCARY good reproductions. I am not sold on this one. What can you tell us about where this came from?
