[QUOTE="Barry Crouch, post: 4381913, member: 13065"]Hello, Roaring, The second one you posted--that looks a lot like it. I don't have it in my hands yet, so I can only go off of pictures. I don't think there is a hole in the right hand that could receive a cane--I did closeups of that area and didn't see one. The lettering on the one you found that has no cane looks a lot different than the lettering on mine--among other things, the "f"s in "funfe" are much stronger and shaped differently. The paint job is different, too (no silver on the top hat on the one I bought). Also, I don't see the scrape marks on the one you found. But, overall, it is a match. Thoughts (if when I get it I find it is bronze) as to mine being a fake or a replica given the lettering and the scrape marks? Thanks!!![/QUOTE]
