Absolutely legit....
Just look at the spine. Common sense dictates that a stiff cardboard-like spine with perfectly straight rows of stich holes emanates from the 1970s or newer.
Contrast that with a soft felt spine with slightly wavy/curved rows of stitching that indicate pre-1960s. The imperfect stitching is a tell-tale sign that some overworked seamstress performed the task, as opposed to a post 1970 automated system.
