Wow! That was fast, thanks much Brad.

Karl,

I was writing my first reply before you had even posted a photo of the reverse. The front displays some of the obvious characeristics of this breed of fake: sneering beak, misplaced breast feathers, curved feather lines in the lower wings, etc. I didn't need to see the reverse. This one has that bogus 360 contract number, but this same front is also found on fakes with other backs which more closely match original styles, including correct maker marks.

Best,
Brad

Thanks, Bran and Ben for the info. I really need to do my homework on these things.

Cheers,Ian.
