[QUOTE="judy, post: 543498, member: 965"]Hands on by someone who is quite familiar with Steiff is recommended. The nose stitching looks to have been redone. The arms don't appear to be long enough judging from the photos. The pads don't seem right and the stitching detail seems to be the same color as the nose. Could be the pads have been replaced. The legs appear to be all one size, rather than wider at thigh, tapering to ankle. I don't think one can say with all certainty that it's Steiff from these photos. IMHO, anyway. (Many buttons are missing from Steiff bears).[/QUOTE]
