Original Red Baron Prototype?

While at a mates tonight drinking. I looked in an ashtray full of junk with some cars sitting in it and this one car took my interest and said to him to remind me to look it up as it had 1969 on it and thought being old it may be worth something. anyway. from what i have have read here and elsewhere, i think it may be an original. He was given it about 15 yrs or so ago with a box of cars from his aunt that his kids used to play with, anyway, would like some opinions on its authenticity as to me it ticks all the boxes of an original and any info would be good
