Disclaimer: It is established that these pieces were altered after manufacture so this one is engraved: 'FAKE' inside the rear skirt. Having said that, this is a really excellently colored specimen which is darkest and most iridescent in the ears. It is a flea bite on the lower front edge of the rim short of mint. Based on specimens I've personally seen, I believe the wide eared style is less common than the narrow grooves. The last two I found on eBay sold for 160.00 and 207.50 plus shipping. I'm going to start at 145.00 shipping included and see what happens. |
