Hello all,

I just received this and would like to ask a few opinions on it. I had a look over the forum and through albums but couldn't find one similar to mine which is a bit of a worry. I apologise for the poor pictures.

Kind regards

Stuart

It looks ok, the copies are generally smaller than originals which are locally made and all have slight differences

Hi Stuart,

It look good to me. Often the original examples are sometimes unique and show differences unlike the fakes which are all cooky-cutter. That's a nice example well done.

For reference I just sold a great example on my website. Different to your example but it goes to show that there are variations. If you want to check it out for reference here is the link.

Best wishes, Roy
