Now that I'm back home for a bit, I can add some pics of my example. Like Albert's example, I don't think this one received finish to the reverse. Note that it's been hand-vaulted and you may be able to make out the traeger's name scratched lightly into the reverse of the boat.
This was found in a dodgy coin/medal shop in Sydney but screamed "buy me" when I saw it!
Too bad ol' Bill Stump wasn't still around as he had several of these and would probably shed some light on the subject. He had some real scary looking fakes too, ones that were very difficult to tell from originals.
