If I remember correctly, then the original aluminum bodies from the 1960's were made from .050" thick aluminum and the Kirkham aluminum bodies are made from .059" thick aluminum.
Honestly, you can't go wrong with either a SPF, ERA or KMP. All excellent choices at different price points. As for "realness", the ERA is closer than the SPF and the Kirkham is "more closer" than ERA.
Since you're buying used, there's no need to worry about lead times on new bodies. Otherwise the ERA might take about 9-12 months or more.
