I am going to lean as not authentic but not 100% on it. If you have it in hand does the paper have uneven gloss, even gloss, or no gloss? Does the paper feel smooth or rough? Those attributes can help identify it....
The counterfeit I have is smooth. I'm not sure what to look for in the gloss. The paper is not 1928, definitely not 20's paper/cardboard.

While I think the scan looks good and a photo would look good, it's obviously a counterfeit when holding it in person. I'm going to get my camera out later and get some good close up shots in an effort to replicate those close ups of the texture in the older thread.
