<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rec, post: 2799989, member: 6899&quot;]tehere are some red flags here.</p><p>1-Forgers focus on copying authentic pieces by using an authentic Meissen figure for the fake mold.&nbsp; The problem with this technique is that the fake ends up being about 16% smaller than the authentic example.</p><p>2- In theory all authentic Meissen porcelain figures (of the same design) should weigh the same because they were made using the same mold. because you said this are smaller than normally i assume they are also lighter than normal.</p><p>3-&nbsp; Meissen porcelain should have a slightly bluish white color to it.&nbsp; Maybe its a lighting issue, but this like to my eye quit creamy.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. and the mark. This model was created bj Johann Joachim Kaendler ca. 1762. if this is an original piece we should see a mark that fits the period. but it is not the case here.</p><p>there is a narrow painted cross sword used between 1740-1750 but these had no pommels. The 1850-1920 period used mark had a clear pommels but the swords would not cross straight but more curved and the crossing point more balanced.</p><p><br /></p><p>so, I think you were rightly referring to the mark. All things considered, I think this one is a fake. But as said before of a very good quality[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
