There are 3 main styles, the archaic, the classical (this one) and the New Style (often comes nice &amp; was made much later).&nbsp; All 3 types have experiences hoard finds so are reasonably priced today.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is actually the 2nd one of these I&#039;ve owned.&nbsp; The 1st was a VF-EXF which I sold when I lost interest in ancients around 1995 or so.&nbsp; Then I got back into them starting around 2002.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
