:D I definitely was hoping that it was an original when I paid the price for it that I did, but I 100% knew I was taking a risk. Thanks once...
That's definitely reassuring, Fern77. I have no plans on seeking any recourse from the individual that I had bought it from, but he stated that...
Hello, Fern77, I questioned the hardware as well, including the square plate that protects the base from the hexnut. I do want to know if it is...
Understood on all, Fid. Be well and thanks for being on this forum!
Fid, what you are saying somehow agrees with and disagrees with another expert's opinion. Before I made the post on this board, I reached out to...
Fid and All, Thanks again for the guidance. I received it today. If it is a fake, it is a very nice one. The detail is very high. I wish...
:D:D:D
(I thought I had replied to this via my cell phone, but am not seeing; if redundant, oops.) I'll keep both my arms and both my legs! Once again,...
So all Schmidt-Fellings currently on the market can be fakes or replicas? As to my thought that it is related to Paul Lincke, I found a musical...
Hello, Fid! A lot of good insight. Like Roaring20s said, I thought given that this particular one doesn't really speak to a large crowd, maybe...

Thanks for what you found and your thoughts. Again, I am new to this, but I thought the same thing as to someone making a counterfit or a replica...
Hello, Roaring, The second one you posted--that looks a lot like it. I don't have it in my hands yet, so I can only go off of pictures. I don't...
Yikes. At the very least, hopefully the upper part is bronze! Even if a replica or fake. Thanks, Holly.
Much appreciated, Kyra! One of the two auction sites I think did give the size of the piece they had. I will do that!
Hello, I took a chance on a statue on eBay. I am completely new to bronze statues, so this is the first I have ever purchased. The lister did...
HAH!! I just found its twin - but made out of metal. The images showing on the top side panels match - at least two I see match, and match...
I would think they could have "stamped" each of the eight panels with the same stamp - but what you are saying definitely makes sense. I have had...
I see what you are saying. Curious as to why each panel doesn't have an identical replica of the dragon on it, but the resin theory does make...
That does seem to be close to the material of this piece
