Newbie here! Was told ( by the guy selling it, o'course) that this is from his personal collection & is the real deal. I trust yall's opinion more than his. Verdict please?

Sorry. 100% fake. I can't tell the quality repro's from the real ones, but I do know this is a known reproduction.

Thanx so much. I read on one of the forums to always beware that you wanting something to be the real thing doesn't make it so. Even a newbie like me was very suspect of this piece but really wanted it to be real.Thanx again.

Glad to help. You were wise to post photos and ask questions. There are photos of real ones and fakes all over this site. Some fakes are outstanding copies and I have trouble telling them from the real ones.It takes a true expert to do so.
