Stirrup for (urgent?) coments

Thank you all Gentlemen for your prompt cooperation.
Having the first (enligtening) answer come from Gene in the Ethno section (where i had copied the thread), i felt much influenced and made my option to let this item go.
When i later read the other impressions from Jim, David, Michl and Chris i was already on my way home.
In a way this wasn't so bad, as parts of your posts would make me hesitate and chewing second thoughts.
So i had (and have) to deal with the consideration that this thing would be a Chinese knock-off ... be it right or wrong

.
Concerning the considerable wear and patina look, when it comes to Chinese stuff, is a characteristic that must be taken with a pinch of salt, according to what i have learnt; those guys can be brilliant, when it comes to such area of cosmetics.
Thanks again fellows.
