We hit the rummies(garage/estate)sales hard yesterday:) I am fairly sure that this is the real deal. The second pic shows the only printing info on the poster. The poster is huge and not in the best condition but I think its awesome. Hopefully someone on here can tell me if this is an original or repro. Hope everyone has good pickin this weekend:)

If I recall from an episode of Pickers they said the type of paper it is printed on should help determine authenticity. Sorry that isn't more helpful...
Great find either way!
It is the real thing from 1943. Sold in 2007 for $100.00 perfect condition. War bonds were first sold around 1941.

Sometimes I think AR8Jason is a walking history book. Impressive! Collectors Weekly is great---not just for the interesting items people collect, but because of the people you meet and the good stuff you learn.
Very Awesome!!!
