I'll try and post pics from my phone.
Yes they’re very well rendered. I don’t wonder if they are true restrikes (no die flaws!) due to the quality of the design, albeit I’ve not found one yet that I would definitely say is good. I don’t recall seeing any like it with braze holes. An area worthy of further study.
