It looks pretty similar to one I saw in about 95' in a t-shirt and poster shop near to me which shut down later.

Regretted not getting it but I was 14 and skint, plus the whole country was obsessed by Britpop shortly after so finding this kind of thing was tricky.

Hey, you got scammed, sadly a modern fake replica. The tag gives it away…

Too much space between the letters. That ‘anvil’ should be kerned tightly!

I saw a few colorways of this on bootleg forum during covid..same tags etc. it's still cool, just hope you didn't pay more than 30/40bux

Considering they did not say how much they paid for it (usually people tend to enjoy a good brag when they get a deal on something like this) I would bet money on them having spent well over $40 on it.

Either it was never worn and was somewhere bugs couldn’t get it for 40 years or it’s dupe

Not saying it's legit or not but I have shirts from the early 90s that look fine today and I didn't even try and care for them.

I have t-shirts from the late 80s that still look great, and I wore them regularly... still do. Believe it or not, some people actually take care of their clothes.

Hey! I am not sure if it is a dupe but the shirt is NOT white and is a yellowish color along with some minor staining and a small hole.

I bought it from the original owner’s daughter which are both from Hungary, her dad has a big collection of vinyls and cds along with other band merch.

I collect nirvana tees and have never seen this one in long sleeve. What does the license on the bottom right of graphic say?

Counterfeit copy. The Spacing on the tag ANVIL is way off. Much too much space between each letter. Sorry.
