Looks pretty convincing to me. I'll leave it to the experts tho...

I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
I would say, to carefully read the entire,
”Show your Davis built bicycle”
thread at the top of the pre 33 forum.
Lots of really good information there by some of the hobbies finest and most learned.

Frame numbers would give you help and frame construction too. Up on the air till then

If its not, its an incredibly well done fake. Painting the red over the green would have been a stroke of genius to throw off collectors.

Thank you for posting this.
comet … is it possible that you are able to use
a different camera and snap a few more pics
of the decal area ?
Whatever it is that is creating that screendoor
imagery is about as welcome as a sidecar on
a wheelchair.
Would like to see the paint layers.
Not believing that red is 'over' the green.
Believe that red is the Davis-type primer.
Although that was a brilliant consideration posted
by @bikewhorder in Entry #6, just above.
And, that 'silver' (could be white) in the decal
may be part of it's 'metallic' feature, with the gold
overlay long gone.
Would also enjoy seeing the stamping-directionality
of any numbers / letters that may appear at the
underside of the crankcase, please.
Thank you .….

I believe the "screen door imagery" is a moire pattern from taking live photographs of pictures on a computer screen. If possible it would be better to post original digital photos, or at least proper screen captures.
Something that makes me cautious is that the patina is so even. There is plenty of evident surface wear, but NO damage and NOTHING missing, and critical things like the head badge are nearly perfect. Almost too perfect. I have seen some amazing bikes assembled from parts but made to look "as found." I don't know how much this one is worth but I'm guessing a lot--maybe enough for someone to have put some serious effort into it.
