Hi,
This item is being offered for sale locally. I do not want any monetary opinions but does anyone have any advice as to how I might identify whether or not this item is "right" i.e. does it appear to have age, what type of material is it made of and an opinion of the piece in general. I know that 'absolutes' are very difficult without actually handling the piece but any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Norman.
