    Perhaps we should mention that there are many modern fakes of these and anyone buying one from a seller below the most experienced might be advised to think first.

    $29 gets you a set of seven which could be dirtied up and sold on eBay to people who know not.

    That is a nice example of a belly punch and foot contact/trip but it is the opposite side getting punched from my coin #2. There are others with a much more active trip which I would like to have. Most are just hand holding.

    Doug, your collecting choices are interesting, a bit esoteric, and always instructive. When I read the reasons for your acquisitions, I always come away with some new cherry-picking information. Congratulations on a great year!
