I dont like this one Tom, I think its a fake...the back should be smooth, as originals are die stamped, this one has pock marks and looks to be cast...it is emulating a late production piece, notice the red ring, on early pieces enameled, on later pieces painted, notice the bleeding effect on this one, painted, happens on originals, a sure way to instantly determine era of production.
Prost ! Steve.

here is the back of a known original.

I agree with Steve-a sneaky attempt at faking on this one. William
