<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 27542, member: 54&quot;]Guessing it is a mass-produced copy of an &quot;original&quot; work or copy of a better-defined copy.&nbsp; The characters in the &quot;signature&quot; area are poorly-defined and look like 2nd or 3rd impressions, which is why some of that area is illegible.</p><p><br /></p><p>The definition on the rest of the item isn&#039;t representative of the quality available with sculpture-grade bronze, which expands slightly while cooling, filling even hair strands in the mold.&nbsp; Since the item&#039;s quality doesn&#039;t call for expensive sculpture-grade bronze, the yellow metal you see may be cheaper brass.&nbsp; I would also expect an item like this to be hollow metal, filled with plaster or something other than metal.&nbsp; Best to peel back a little of the felt to get more info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
