Hi Les, I won't disagree with your statement, the evidence is compelling. However that doesn't change the two grades I offered up. Do I think "wearer's copies" were made. yeah, probably.... but unless they are coming out of an attributable, documented, researched group it's all just story with no basis in reality, or fact. Everyone who owns one of these pieces, whether they paid a song, or thousands, are heavily invested in the story (and the arguments thereof) and are not dealing with the "piece" itself. This arena is normally played out on eBay where people with more money than brains routinely pay thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars for items that are routinely debunked here as utter rubbish..... The serious student, collector, investor (and yes, I will use that last word freely) does his homework and sticts to "textbook' pieces. The INSTANT you have to start explaining, singing a song, or arguing a story......... the piece falls out of category (A) (REAL) and into category (B) (EVERYTHING ELSE)
