Is this Ericsson skeleton a reproduction?

[Thor]

Hi

As the topic describe, can someone here at this forum see if this Ericsson skeleton is a reproduction or not?

I think it is a nice phone, with some issues, but the price is very high if it should be a reproduction.

Thank you!

It is real but brassed out and refinished.The receiver part appears to have been replaced with one made of aluminum . Cannot tell if the induction coil is intact inside the wooden cradle support

I am missing the centrifugal switch visible on the opposite side than the crank, and it looks like missing here too.

You may look at this eBay pictures for compairing.

So what do they call these in France? Hint: not "Eiffel Tower phone."
