Looks good to me, Lindy was one of the girls who sat in the front row at the Cavern.  Lindy Ness, I believe.

From Tune In

And yet another story regarding the phrase "Norwegian Wood" surfaced in a story recounted by Lindy Ness, old time friend of Lennon during the Cavern days of 1962. When she had returned from a trip to Norway, she presented John with a gag gift in the bandroom of the Cavern on August 24th, 1962; a wooden troll with trousers around his ankles, sitting on a toilet. Lindy relates that he "looked at it and said, 'What's this, Norwegian wood?'" Lindy and George's girlfriend at the time, Marie Guirron, remembered this odd phrase that John had used and, when the 'Rubber Soul' album was released three years later, Marie was certain that John had Lindy in mind.

It's completely genuine. I saw it in stock at Tracks last year, so there's no doubt it's authentic.
