This type has popped up recently all over. On Weitze, Ratisbons and other dealers, commanding high prices. Were these around back in the day?

Very nice.
But I'm still not certain it's from the period. Lets see if others chime in.

Is the darn thing two piece? Looks like the enamel work is separate and applied to the reverse? Not looking good to me.

I don't like it. Different kind of manufacturing as the known original Hoffstätters.
