[QUOTE="judy, post: 544249, member: 965"]TY for your additional photos. The profile photo does show a shorter arm than what Steiff bears usually have. It's a nice bear......but is it Steiff???? The fact that a German life has been mentioned is something to be considered. My opinion, is that it is not a Steiff......Based mainly on the length of the arms, and the straightness of the legs. I do like the profile of the head and upper body.....which are very Steiff like. The re-stitching really would not disqualify it being a Steiff, but it would change the value. Again, hands on by a bear person would tell you all the yays and nays. I would absolutely love to be wrong and everyone else who thinks positively Steiff, be correct. Please let us know if you ever find out. It would be a wonderful example for all of us to revue.[/QUOTE]
