On this one you can clearly see the castfeatures and also you see the burning-"patina" on It.

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

I thought so, thanks.

The un ending heart break associated with "sculls." Go ask Bob Hritz if he has any duplicates. I did recently, and he does not seem to, but try again. He says there is a world wide shortage, made worse by the speculative frenzy of a handful of berserk collectors who have scooped up all of these and strangle the rest of us. Wolfe Hardin also has these, too, but at the original usurious prices. It is droll, really.

I do not have any duplicates, either, mind you. I am sorry not to oblige. I do not even bother to look for the wretched things at all. Pi pa po.

Well after two fakes, I think I've now found a good one! I'm very confident about this one, let me know what you think.

I think it is ok, but I would have to feel its weight, actually. In any case, good luck and do not give up.

It looks ok with repaired attachments.

Cheers for your thoughts, I have purchased it so will put up more photos when I have it. The seller wrote in it's description he believes it is period repaired- though it doesn't matter too much to me, is there a way to differentiate between a period alteration and a modern example of the same? In the end, what the back of these things look like doesn't bother me.
