Indeed, all too obvious for a great many people, including Mr King.

Lot of effort to fake it...
Who knew? Well not me obviously

If it didn't exist in the period its pertaining to be it can't really be called a "fake"?

So the implication is that its a "fantasy" piece, which makes me wonder "when" it was made in order to decide "why" it was made.

So a picture of the reverse could be quite helpful.
