I am also learning and I like these mandaus now for a year or so.
I try to learn as much as possible by looking on ebay (there you see how mostly tourist parts look)
And I look here on this forum and books and try to get pictures of other collectors and try to see the differents between them.
Although I bought a couple of weeks a mandau on ebay which I really liked.
And you don't see this patina good on the pictures, but in real it has the same patina as another one who I possess. That one I bought of someone who collects these items himself and I fully trust in selling no "touristic parts"
I enclose some pictures.
