<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 479052, member: 59"]This subject came up here a while back. It was a piece with the maple leaf mark, but with careful measurement, it was determined to be an authentic Nippon period mark. Recognizing the difference between a quarter-inch leaf and a half-inch leaf is tough if you don't have a tape measure at hand. Even when something is cheaply priced you don't want to get stuck with a 20 yr old piece that you bought because you thought it was 100 yr old. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
