Annagreenapple New Member Guernsey 4 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 3:50 pm I've found this within a collection that I've inherited. Are there many replicas of these kind of things around? I doubt it's very valuable which would lead me to think that it isn't worth making fakes? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

I'll reserve my guess as I am not a collector of them and don't know then well. How much does it weigh? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 5:35 pm to the community I wasn't able to locate a match on any of the fakes reports, so I think it might be a genuine example. I would like to see some better pictures if possible though. Report this Post to the Staff

Despite the wear on both, many details, including in the hair, lettering, and even the two conjoined dots of the border at the base of the letter S, seem to match.
