[QUOTE="_Kale_, post: 9420471, member: 80716"]Just a quick update. Contacted 2 of the Staffordshire specialists you suggested (emails with pictures etc) The first came back with a very brief email essentially saying he thought it was modern, probably a Chinese reproduction. The second said it was definitely genuine early 19th century but then went into quite a detailed description of why he thought it had been restored around the feet and upper arm. Not sure where that leaves me, feels like I'm not much further forward. Its proving a bit difficult to find someone with decent knowledge to take it to who lives locally. I think it's interesting though that two different specialists in Staffordshire figures can come to such different conclusions. It clearly can't be very obvious, either way.[/QUOTE]
