G'day DMKR

I have had a good look at your devil and also the one below by and have compared them both with mine which I got from a well known Melbourne dealer in the early 1970's, who is now deceased and who assured me that it was ok.

Now mine has an all over dark oxidised finish, where as yours is mostly
rubbed off and has a glossy finish.

Yours has a separation between the spear and the ear and there is a separation between the "spike" and the knee on the same side, however the one below has the spear attached to the ear and there is a "web" between the "spike" and the knee and the next "spike" down.

In summary I accept that mine is ok
DMKR, I'd say that yours is a good one also.
But sorry Jean-Paul, Id say that yours is a repro.

Regards

Phil.
