Very good thread and discussion!
It's clear from the photos that the statute shown by Hakan81 does not have any of the casting details of the statues shown by Dennys Jorret and kris simoens.
Furthermore, the plain base is nothing like the other ornate bases.
In my opinion, it's a copy and not worth "4K to 5K, may be more". It's probably worth something in the hundreds. So the $300 sale price seems ok.
Hello Carinhall,
I cannot comment that because I cannot see the pictures from Kris.
However the statue offered by Hermann Historica never had a "ornated" base and I am sure it was authentic, so as the auction house.
If this is a repro they have just started producing those. I'll tell you that it was a good start.
The price for it is RIGHT. To give you an idea, I offered 9k for this one I posted and the ownwer didn't let it go. I wouldn't let it go either.
Thanks.
