Question on Star Wars Style A

[Posteroid]

Apologies for my ignorance but I know nothing about Star Wars posters and was asked by a good friend in Japan to help him authenticate his style-A one-sheets. If anyone here could voice an opinion I'd be very thankful.

My friend has two style-A posters, none of them with a hairy belt.

Poster 1: With ratings box, folded, "Printed in U.S.A." on bottom, NSS number 77-21-0
Poster 2: No ratings box, rolled, "Printed in U.S.A." on bottom, NSS number 77-21-0

From what I could find on various websites, the first one seems to be legitimate. But with regards to the second one, I could only find information on folded "Litho in USA" versions.

Many thanks in advance!

The non PG version has not been bootlegged to the best of my knowledge. The PG version has a very common bootleg as most know. The easiest way to tell is to look for that hair on the belt. If the hair is not there and it is the proper 27"x41" it is more than likely legitimate. Without good images though I cannot say more.

That's very helpful.
Thanks a lot!

I had seen that page, but thank you.
What was odd was that my friend's posters have PRINTED IN U.S.A as opposed to LITHO IN U.S.A. written on them.
But I saw other websites that had the style A with PRINTED IN U.S.A. so I reckon it does not make any difference?
