    I see a lot of similar ones online so I guess the maker would be of no importance?
    Thanks

    There are many repros about.
    Made in Viet-Nam.
    painting them in natural yogurt and leaving them outside gives them an aged look.
    The clue between originals and repros is the screws, repros tend to have Phillips screws.

    This one is easy to detect as a modern repro, from quality issues. In 2nd pic notice how the fur is missing to left of seam near face. As already stated, if the halves are joined by a Phillips screw, the item is relatively recent.

    Not a Phillips but regular screw.
