Message:: [QUOTE="sunday silence, post: 4565335, member: 6808"]I dont disagree with your remarks either. The smudging is the first thing I noticed as well as the gridiron work on the bottom. And no it really doesn't look much like the other Rittirsch pieces Ive seen. you have to stretch to see much in common. But what I was getting at, and what I was hoping you'd address is the mark is pretty much a perfect copy of the Rittirsch mark. Is it not?  I dont really see that in any of the "fake" or knock off marks we've seen. They are always a little bit different. Right? And ther's a reason for that presumably to avoid being accused of trade violation. so what's going on here? Is this some bizarre Rittirsch piece with imaginary Napoleonic guys? or is it really an asian knock off with a carbon copy of a Rittirsch mark? And yes that face just seems asian to me and to you, I think. So again must be a knock off of some sort. And I dont understand Chris's remarks without any more explanation. I dont know what impersonation means. And I dont know if he sees something in that mark that is different than other Rittirsch  marks. Something we dont see. So that's why I ask to see if there is more to learn. ANyhow as far as I can tell, its still somewhat of a mystery. And a very interesting discussion so thank you.[/QUOTE]
