The rim seems a bit weak opposite to the clip, which is good news. I'm not 100% sure though, so will be interested to see what others think.
Also, thx for including the weight.

Definitely legit. Not seeing any signs of PMD. Nice Clip!  Errers and Varietys.

This does not look genuine to me. There is no sign of any metal flow from the adjacent devices into the void, and the edge where the clip meets the rim looks too sharp. The hint of a Blakesley effect on the opposite rim might also be created.

I share the same worry @zur, but what do you make of this region?  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

@Spence, yes, I looked that for a while—that's the only part that looks real, but I suppose that could be created too. The other problem I have with it is the clip doesn't look like a perfect arc, as it should be if it were punched out.

Looks good. There is definitely weakness in the date and 180 degrees from the clip. Large clips will not always show metal flow like small ones.

Maybe you guys are right. Looking at this again, there might also be some metal flow on the wheat stalk. I'll be a definite not sure.

looks good to me
I found that sometimes the arc will distort during the strike because the empty space allows for metal movement and changing the arc a bit.

So I guess the final answer is maybe a clipped. legit or not legit it looks pretty cool plus it's condition is very nice. I'm guessing from the 40's or 50's
