Hallo Gents,

I have been shown this piece here in Romania, current owner is adamant its an original piece

my gut instinct is its a poor modern copy.

Let him be adamant... its not your money wasted ;-)

if he offers to sell it to you, then its your chance to be adamant... and an adamant "no!" would be the right thing to do.... :-)

Hi Chris,

thanks for your reply, I was 99.9% sure it was "schrott"

The current owner is ok in many ways but,he believes its "patina" can only indicate its real age and henceforth and "original" piece He just wont have it that anything can be faked and aged.

Hi Kevin,

Hey, I've got some nice copies with super patinas that if he'd like to buy them at high end prices I'd be happy to discuss it with him. Some folks just never learn.

Hi Alec and Chris, thanks for the additional pictures.

I see Chris your one has an Issue / Serial Number on the side

this is not evident on Alec's piece, we're all pieces numbered in

this way?
