Looks like the real deal to me,but has later handlebars and other odd encrustations.These were built in 1953 as a Ladies and a Gents model to commemorate Queen Elizabeth's coronation and meant to mulate a crown with the odd curved struts in front and rear. Classic colour of these was gold bowed struts and purple main fame. The kids liked them. Art Link,San Antonio,TX,USA
