There's a picture of an original one in the link below. Your's looks like it's missing the cherries in the casting above the Jackpot window . . . :roll:
But I'm not an expert, so wait till somebody else chimes in...... :lol:

The award card is a reproduction and the reel strips to not look correct.

Black cherry machines should have the sides painted black.

I cannot tell from the photos if the base is original or not.

The same goes for the back door.

Based on the War Eagle, I would avoid this auction.

Go to http://www.IBuyOldSlots.com/ReproArticle.html for information on how to spot the fakes.
