Real or reproduction?

I can usually tell but I am stumped on this re-decapper. Usually that means it's a fake but I'm just not sure if it is a real Peterson/Schoyen or not. Can anyone tell. I don't have a real one to compare it to.
(Those pins holding the handles on aren't roll pins. They are standard solid pins that have been punched on the ends to keep them tight in the holes.) 
I know it looks a lot like the CPA but CPA does not have acorns on the ends of the rods and CPA is stainless and this one looks like it's starting to rust.

Ken I would say it's a copy. The two originals I have both have the post that the depriming hinged on is mounted with a blind hole in the priming rod. Yours shows a hole completely through.

Thanks Det. I guess I should have gone with my first feeling.

But then the rest of us would not know.  Thanks.
