    Imperial woe?

    Hi guys...
    As you may know by now I'm handling the estate of a collector friend for his widow.
    The collection has both good and not so good examples. Unfortunately, most of the major pieces are questionable, postwar and outright fakes.
    I would like extra eyes on these here so I could inform her of what is true. I am in the unenviable position as can be seen.
    Your comments and advise are most welcome at this difficult time.
    Thanks in advance.
    Tony

            I think you are completely right with your assumptions about these pieces.

              Thanks Miro.
              I wish it wasn't so for her sake.

                Wow, Tony. I am happy that I am not in your shoes.

                      Trevor,

                      A very inclusive statement - does that include Tony???

                      See you at the SOS.

                          Hard to say without good photos but I believe Tony is most likely authentic.

                            My passion before militaria collecting was riding lions.
                            Beware of those that rode lions in their youth....

                              The lion looks to be original, but I have my doubts about creature sitting on his back.
