Velvet Statins - real - fake - boot or other !!

[Zoomsoulblue]

Just a quick one 43 years since I brought this for a few quid - real or not, I understand that there were some good boots back in the day - to me it looks fine - but I guess am slightly bias - lol

Not sure the run out groove looks too wide. It should have either Bell Sound or Nashville matrix also.

[Guest]

As Steve has said that type of demo should have a Bell sound stamp and a raised 'X' in the dead wax

[Mixedangased]

Boot me thinks that run outs too wide & should have bell sound stamp,

[Soulstu]

deffo a pressing, sorry - I have an original and a pressing and the pressing has the same wide run out as yours.

You also need to check the delta number for year of manufacture. There's a good guide on Dave Flynn's Website. You'll need to look under Monarch Pressing Plant Disc Info:
