One of the best ways to determine originality is to compare the staples with those of a known original.

In 1930 would there have been a form number in the lower left corner? I'm glad the Parker paper bug never bit me

Anything on an original would also be on a copy.

Bill can you tell me more about what you mean, about spotting a copy.

I have no information to share, except that most collectors of Parker paper will not touch a 1930 Pocket, because the repros are so nice and look like originals. I don't know how to recognize a copy. As far as I know, the 1930 Pockets in my repro collection might be original. The only reason I know my originals are original is that I obtained them before they were being reproduced.
