Without a serial number on the lower left, why would this be authentic as opposed to a reproduction?

Thank you for raising this question because it prompted me to learn a lot more about Blood Chits. As a result of that exercise, I would have to answer your question by saying it could go either way, but I lean toward it being a reproduction (and for more reasons than the absent serial number). The caption has been adjusted to reflect this possibility and we thank you for asking your question that sent down a most interesting rabbit hole.

Famous WW2 Quote
"We no longer demand anything, we want war."Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, Aug 1939

The Chinese written on the blood chit informs that the holder was a foreigner who arrived in China to help war efforts, and urged military and civilian personnel to assist the holder.
