Is this a real '62 trem?

It looks authentic enough... Is it?
I can get a good price on it but I want to ensure it's real first.
The seller seems decent enough.

Sorry if it seems as if I've only joined to sell stuff, but didn't want lynch-mobs forming

Sorry, we have quite a strict policy about selling on the open forum .. so I'm going to have to disallow a couple of posts above.

I know you're both acting with the best of intentions, so rather than deleting the entire thread I'll simply lock it and allow the conclusion to stand - no one doubts that the trem block is a genuine vintage part.
