John C Posted July 17, 2023 Report Posted July 17, 2023 Auctioneer's estimate is 50-80 GBP? What am I missing. Does the auction house think they are repro's? John C. Quote
Matsunoki Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Posted July 17, 2023 21 minutes ago, John C said: repro's? I think it’s simple John…..the auctioneers are, as usual, clueless and care even less. They don’t look repro to my eyes but it’s not my subject. I figured best let the experts know about them. …..maybe ask for better images or ask for provenance? …..trouble is my post has rather blown it wide open🙂 Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted July 19, 2023 Report Posted July 19, 2023 Yes, total junk - given the age these may be the replicas from India/Pakistan mentioned in the F&G book. 1 Quote
