<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3576758, member: 82616&quot;]I wasn&#039;t going to wade into this thread because it is too negative for my tastes, but I agree with everything you wrote and the above statement is spot on. Felix Reusing did not have access to all the databases and references that I have. That&#039;s likely his excuse for picking up a fake from a reputable dealer a century ago. I purchased that same fake from another reputable dealer and I have no excuses other than laziness. If I had even bothered to look at Forvm&#039;s Fake Gallery I would have seen several examples of that cast. If I had bothered to examine the piece in hand more critically instead of trusting an old provenance, even without the fake matches, I would&#039;ve seen the piece for what it is. I learned a valuable lesson.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a hobby that you have to work at. The tools are available. Again, make use of them[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
