Not totally sure but if it is wrong it is a lot better than the usual fakes. there was definite genuine piece in ANS 2 Morton and Eden Autumn 2006. catalogue is available on line www.mortonandeden.com. So you could compare with the illustration. I know I gave the diameter but I can't remember whether I gave the weight.

This is not "II" of course but "I".

Very weirdly and very fakely executed "I", I must add.

I was just about to comment about that also.  How can a faker be so careful and precise but make this mistake.  I know I don't have the only copy of Werlich.

Thanks all

It was like a shot in the water. I'm glad I didn't spend a penny on it  before asking experts .. Well, let's keep looking.
