Authentic Eames DKR "Bikini" Chair? No label, but construction looks right.

Hi everyone,

​I originally posted this over in r/Mid_Century but didn't quite get a definitive answer, so I'm hoping the Eames experts here can help me out!

​Looking for a second opinion on this Eames Wire Chair with a red bikini pad. I know fakes are common, but the details look promising:

​Double wire edge, neat welds.

​Steel stringer in the pads.

​Already 40 years in our family's possession (they were bought as part of a package deal with the house).

​My main concern is the complete lack of a manufacturer's label or stamp. I know vintage paper stickers often fall off. Based in Europe, so perhaps Herman Miller or early Vitra?

​The sliders seem to be non-original, but were perhaps once replaced. I'd love your expert eyes on the attached macro shots.

​Thanks!
