Fender 77/78 Precision Ashtray

Is the bridge cover genuine? Any tell tale clues to look for?

 

Thanks!

Looks the right shape to me but it’s hard to tell, here’s a genuine one from Andy Baxter if it’s any help

Thanks Reggaebass! I'll remove it and see if it matches.

You could try asking here, there’s some very knowledgeable people there that might be able to help , and some good reading too

It looks original. Many will have had the foam removed or it falls out. 
 

The screws aren’t original and will have created a bigger hole on the body which can be a bit unsightly. I can also see the bigger screw on the end of the scratch plate too which matches, so it seems original.
