About 100 per cent original, one cannot be absolutely sure, of course. But the minor details visible on an 1a are present:
-rims of rangefinder/viewfinder black/bronze,
-rectangular window cornered and with poor metallurgy,
-oblique arrow for speeds,
-large speed dial with recess,
-no clip and no trace of holes,
-release button "mushroom shaped" (if compared with a 1b)
-a one turn lens, very expensive and difficult to find when not mounted on an original 1a,
-and so on for the inside.
The burnished finish is not really a proof of course, nor the above details taken one by one. But when it seems they all are present...
I wonder what "3C-T" means (on the shoe)?
