The silence is deafening.
However...The item is no longer available

" The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing."

When I started out collecting my 3rd piece was bought off ebay & it was a reproduction. It had been sold by a member of this forum on another auction as an original & the scum bag that bought it stiffed me with it a couple of months later. I was a newbie on the forum then & I remember how several people came out to defend the member who had put this dog back out as an original.

I really HATE to see anything like this because I remeber how bitterly disappointed I was.
I also find it surprising that some people will sell their self respect for a paltry couple of hundred bucks and it is an abject lesson in human nature. Unfortunately something that anyone entering this hobby needs to be fully aware of.

War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
