From what I can see it looks fake, to me.

The fact that most of this sellers wares (including and another white name plate) seem to be for faking something is very telling..
Note the "R" tailpiece that to me does not look quite right.

Weird, why would someone waste time and energy to fake an R tailpiece? It does seem Oddly shaped.

The "Made In USA" font doesn't look right on either of those TRCs.

...among other things, that I won't mention, so as not to inform the makers of these on how to make them better.

IMO, one of the pictures of the R tailpiece may been resized without maintaining aspect ratio. The tailpiece doesn't look odd in the other pictures of it.

Gary, the inside of the R is wrongly shaped in all pictures, imo
