Thank you Ernest - same story as before I see!! I wonder if it will continue with all the other pieces - the plot thickens! Cheers

Do not worry, even 60 years ago I noticed "old" carvings were produced. The best way is to collect real and fake items, study them ( side by side) to recognize easily what's real.
Good luck
Ernest
