Gulf Sign on BAT

I really like this sign. Have a few questions.

1. I know there are a LOT of fakes from India these days. Any way to verify this really is a 1965 sign? I have no reason to doubt the seller. Don't know him though, so just being cautious.

2. Clearly, it did not have neon on it originally. Does the added neon hurt the collector value? I am not buying it as an investment, but let’s face it, I am going to die eventually, and if Sherri sells this, I don’t want her getting burned because the neon was added.

3. What is a fair price?

Personally, I like the neon, and think it would look killer on the wall in my shop. I am going to be in Dallas over the weekend anyway, and the guy is willing to meet me in Dallas so I don’t have to pay shipping. And yes, I realize that by posting here, someone reading this may decide he or she wants it more than I do. Such is life.
