This is a cracking question Kingbeebuzz, the originals are actually EXTREMELY rare. I even have the print order, 100 were made for each venue. It was however merchandised later but of course that's not an original first printing. The most common reprint has browner grass, most of the reprints have damage in the print on the upper right hand edge of the poster too. For it to be real it has to have really green grass and no damage in the print but that alone doesn't make it real.
I was lucky enough to score one of these from the brother of a student at the time who booked the band for Leeds University. More recently I have bought one from a member of the crew on that tour. Both have the same green grass, no faults in the edge but the papers are very slightly different. So I think the real first ones sent to the venues are almost matte but other "original" 1971 ones have a slightly glossy stock.
From a picture I can tell if it's definitely fake but I would need to see it to tell which printing I think it comes from. The one posted above looks good from the image.
