[QUOTE="Barry Crouch, post: 4382208, member: 13065"]Hello, Fid! A lot of good insight. Like Roaring20s said, I thought given that this particular one doesn't really speak to a large crowd, maybe no one would go through the troubles of faking it. I did, however, find an overabundance of certain pieces (not the "Bis fruh..." piece) from Schmidt-Felling on eBay and other sites that made me think they most likely were fakes; the asking prices were all over the place, too. Do you have any advice for me on how to tell if this one is the real deal or not? I compared mine to what I thought were the gold standards--the ones from the two auction houses (plus the third house that R20s introduced). If you would like, or wouldn't mind, when I get it, I will take some more detailed pictures and post them. If it turns out to be fake, I will trust that the seller was unaware of this and count my losses--unless it turns out to be not bronze (he was confident it was bronze and it was in the title), at which point I will demand to return it for a full refund. As to your brass pieces--sorry for your experience! Vielen Dank, Fid! Barry[/QUOTE]
