Maybe, but the tailpiece scratch looks different.

Anyway, nice guitar-nice case

I'm don't think you understand...that photo is Not the Bloomfield burst
the real one also has a wear mark between the pup's at the top of the pickguard

the flame is totally different on the real bloomfield burst aswell as other things

i have better pictures at home but this is the best one i could find at work

look how wide the flame is across the centre seam below the stop tail piece

Not "THE" ,but one Bloomfield, my question was if its a historic or any other replica.
I didnt expect it as the real one, but the case is vintage.

As I said "anyway" - nice guitar.

@stumble
You are right with the wider flame..but its another angle and hard to compare.
I would like to know the source of the picture.

Look at my pic ,same guitar different lightning, I would say you can never be sure with some pictures only.

And yes, show more original pictures

I want to show you what i mean.

From a burstview, the flame can appear much wider:

even if its a more reverse chevron on the original picture, i didn´t find the selected top on mine totally wrong compared to the real Bloomfield.

btw. After looking thru different pictures, I think the unknown pic from dwagar shows a replica, but not an actual Gibson Historic.

seriously, the price the Gibson Bloomfields are on Ebay, they'd be my first call if i had lots of dinero. great looking guitars

 

[dwagar]

as I said with that pic, I stole it off the net. It could very well be a replica. It's not a new Historic though, pic is older than that. Could be an older one though. TP moved, knobs changed, wear mark added, etc.

here's where it came from

I see under the pic is says 'photo illustration' whatever that means. Maybe it's a '59 that's been photoshopped a bit?

Thanks Don.

Photoshop seems possible.
