Hi big ned and militarymania,

thanks for you fast replies.
I already suspected that this bust is a cheap fake product.
Good to know that I am not alone.

Hi,
I would say post war repro, as the features are not crisp enough
for war time piece. but still nice little item though, i see the makers name is taken off the bottom. Can i ask how much it was ?.

A friend gave it to me for free.
He had no use for it and we wanted to know more about.

I have a similar, smaller (16.7 cm high) bust of AH made out of what is supposed to be Alabaster. It is VERY MUCH heavier than plaster. The features are clearer & crisper than this one. It has no name, or motto anywhere, nor is there a maker's mark. I always assumed it was original. What do you think?
