Paul W. believes these are legit, purchased from the nearby Rickenbacker factory between 1975 and 1979 - back when the factory would freely sell anyone large numbers of legit jackplates.

The seller simply saved them all up, and is peddling them off little by little over the years.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and sit in with the band whenever you can, to keep your chops up!

Yeah, I know we've been suspicious of the Doc because of difficulties in the past, but he does have lots of old parts, and I believe these to be genuine. I've ordered one on a BIN and will probably be picking up a couple more depending on price. These all check out, incidentally, as being roughly from 1975-79; a time when you could buy these outright from the factory without an exchange.
