Paul, i guess thats why crap-ola like this will never flush,
unknown means Let your fantasy run wild, and of course cant be proved wrong, because period literature will make no reference to it, so you have a choice;
• Accept that when you see it for $2.- in a known forgers catalog, pictured alongside many other fantasy items, that it was conceived to fool
• Invent a story and pass it on!
I can prove so many items fakes from these old books, so i cant allow myself to pick and chose, just because i might "own" one that cost me money! Mr. Pliers gets some food, and another lesson learned.
The guy i bought it from, a while ago, i paid €20.- for it, i mailed him last night and told him that i worked out what it was, and that i was not unhappy, but that i destroyed it.... i dont know him at all, he just refunded me €10.- through paypal, saying sorry that he didnt know either
