Comments

This is not only a forgery, but even a SIGNED forgery- have a very close look in the right section behind the end of the protome, there are 6 letters. Yes really- cyrillic, there you have ?????? - at least SLAV.. is well visible. It is SLAVEY, and a rather good style, not as the poor crap from Morocco nowadays. Surely one to be proud of, best wishes Hartl
