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.
